Jennifer Aniston Encourages Fans to Support Matthew Perry’s Foundation in Heartfelt Tribute
In a touching move to honor the late Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston has urged fans to contribute to the Matthew Perry Foundation, established by his family on November 3. The foundation, created in memory of the beloved Friends actor who passed away on October 28, focuses on supporting individuals grappling with addiction, a cause close to Perry’s heart.
“For #GivingTuesday please join me and Matty’s family in supporting his foundation – which is working to help those suffering with addiction 🤍,” Aniston wrote in a post on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, in honor of the global day of generosity.
Perry’s stepfather, Keith Morrison, echoed the sentiment on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing, “Do what you can; he would have been grateful.” Morrison, who shared a close bond with Perry, also provided a link to the foundation’s website, urging fans to rally behind the cause.
The Matthew Perry Foundation aims to identify addiction as a disease, challenge stigmas hindering access to care, and advocate for better and more equitable treatment. Perry’s family emphasized the importance of honoring his legacy, expressing pride in the foundation’s potential to make a positive impact.
The foundation supports those suffering from addiction, like Perry did himself, “He would have been grateful for the love 🥰”
The late actor had envisioned establishing a foundation to support those battling substance abuse before his untimely death. A decade ago, he founded Perry House, a men’s sober living facility, reflecting his commitment to aiding those in need.
