Comedian's Family Faces Huge Bills, Crowdfunding Plea
31 Mar
Summary
- Family faces $1M in medical bills after comedian's passing.
- Crowdfunding aims to support daughter's education and home.
- Memorial service to be held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
The family of actor-comedian Alex Duong is facing significant emotional and financial strain following his death. Close friend Hilarie Steele shared that mounting medical bills from Duong's cancer treatment could total between $500,000 and $1 million, placing a heavy burden on his wife, Christina.
Loved ones have initiated a crowdsourcing effort to establish a college fund for their 5-year-old daughter, Everest, and to help the family acquire a home. Christina, a dental hygienist, is reportedly working diligently but still finds it difficult to make ends meet.
Everest is deeply affected by her father's passing, with Steele noting the child's profound grief and anticipated need for therapy. A memorial service for Alex Duong is scheduled for April 17 at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Everest's college fund. Alex will be cremated, with his ashes to be returned to his wife.
