Matthew Perry's Stepfather Encourages Donations to the Matthew Perry Foundation

Keith Morrison's Message

Keith Morrison, stepfather of the late Friends actor Matthew Perry, recently spoke out about the importance of charitable giving. On X (formerly Twitter), he encouraged people to donate to the Matthew Perry Foundation on Giving Tuesday. While Morrison admitted that this type of pitch is not something he typically does, he emphasized that this year is different. He urged everyone to do what they can, mentioning that Perry would have been grateful for the support.

Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to celebrating and participating in philanthropic efforts. By promoting the Matthew Perry Foundation on this day, Morrison hopes to continue Perry's commitment to helping others struggling with addiction.

The foundation was established following Perry's death, as a way to carry on his legacy of assisting individuals dealing with addiction. Throughout his life, Perry was open about his own battles with alcohol and opioid addictions. In his memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, released last year, Perry shared details of his struggles. The foundation aims to provide resources and support for those facing similar challenges.

Jennifer Aniston's Support

Matthew Perry's Friends co-star, Jennifer Aniston, also expressed her support for the Matthew Perry Foundation. Aniston took to her Instagram Story to urge fans to join her and Perry's family in backing the foundation's efforts to aid those struggling with addiction. She emphasized how grateful Perry would have been for the love and support shown on Giving Tuesday.

Aniston, along with the rest of the Friends cast, recently paid tribute to Perry following his passing. She described the experience of saying goodbye to Perry as an intense wave of emotions. Despite the grief, Aniston highlighted the importance of allowing oneself to fully feel the loss, as it allows for moments of joy and gratitude for the deep connection shared with the deceased. Aniston concluded her tribute by expressing her love for Perry and acknowledging his peace in ending his pain.

Celebrating Matthew Perry's Life

The passing of Matthew Perry has left a significant impact on his loved ones and fans alike. Through the Matthew Perry Foundation, his stepfather Keith Morrison and co-star Jennifer Aniston are actively working to honor his legacy and continue his mission of helping those battling addiction. Vowing to be there for her friend even after his passing, Aniston speaks to Perry every day, celebrating his humor and the impact he had on her life.

With donations made to the Matthew Perry Foundation on Giving Tuesday, friends, fans, and supporters can contribute to providing assistance and resources for people struggling with addiction.
