The family of one of the most famous actors of the series “The Walking Dead”, Erik Jensen, decided to ask for help to raise money on a special platform so that the actor can undergo surgery as he is suffering from cancer. Stage IV.
The actor had already undergone a test a year and a half ago when he suffered a brain aneurysm from which he was able to recover.
Jensen suffers from colon cancer, which has already metastasized to his liver and requires urgent surgery to somehow improve his health.
His family turned to the GoFund platform to ask for financial help as they are not going through the best of times, as the strike by SAG producers and writers has left many actors, including Jensen, without income have.
According to the statement, although the actor’s medical situation is not the best, he has not stopped working. To improve his health, he will have to undergo surgery, a situation that doctors consider as a way to reduce tumors and save his life, although it is believed that this is not a final stage of the disease.
“The cancer has metastasized to the liver, but Erik is young and strong, his doctors have the ability to shrink the tumors enough that they can perform two very important operations and remove them all.” “It’s incredibly resilient and strong,” the statement on the fundraising platform said.
Recent events in this family’s life have left them in less than ideal financial shape. The money they raised will not only be used for Erik’s treatment, but will also help maintain their home and provide a better future for their daughter Sadie.
The collection began last Thursday, October 19, and so far they have received almost $93,000, which, although not the amount requested, but they assured that the amount has increased significantly in the last few days.
Many of his friends and colleagues in the Apocalypse series participated and helped in the fundraising, such as actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who, although he did not work directly with Jensen in the production, knew and knew about the actor’s great personality , how much he needs the resources at this time.
