Attention Coco Peru Fans and Fellow Coco Puffs!

Didn't her mom die from drinking a box of wine a day?

R1 that was Kathy Griffin's mom

I guess drag queens aint rollin in the dough

It knew before it posted that, R2.

I'm certain Dylan will share his loot with this guy

I love Coco but I'm just against internet begging.

[quote]It knew before it posted that, [R2].

Let me guess, mom used to refer to you as "it" when you were a child?

Drag, queens aresuch predictably low class bottom feeders. As are their weird fans who lurk online, posting threads about them as if they’re celebrities.

Golden age drag is so classy. “Helen”, and a legitimate attempt at female illusion.

Coco is the best. I donated. She’s not asking for eyelashes, she’s asking to ensure her ancient Bronx raised mom gets into a nice home

R10 Plenty of people would like others to give them money for their own moms to get into a nice home. Using your fame to beg is just too low rent for me. Figure something else out.

97? What happens to all that money when mum kicks it in a few weeks? Sounds sus.

Thanks, OP. I donated. My mother died 7 years ago but the problems we faced as a family while her health and cognition declined were scarring.

Coco Peru has my sympathy, as do all all parental caregivers.

R12

[quote] If my mom should pass before all the monies have been used, all remaining donations given to her will be donated to the elder housing program at the Los Angeles LGBTQ Center.

R14 sure Jan

Whether it's true or not, R15, I just printed it for poor R12, whose attention span didn't reach as far as the end of the GFM post.

I'd chip in to help him buy a pillow.

I absolutely donated. She did a fabulous series during the pandemic that really helped me with my depression. I rewatch some now and then when I am feeling down. I know, MARY! Whatever. Here's the playlist.

I will donate. Her videos also helped me when I was in a deep depression @R18

Hi CoCo at r20

I donated as well. I love Coco.

Millions of people are dealing with this same situation every day, yet somehow they manage to keep moving forward without begging on GoFundMe.

GoFuckYourself

He's asking for $160,000!

Nerve.

that bothers me!

1) How old is COCO if mom is 90 fucking 7?

2) home health aids if 24/7 are going to eat up anything Coco can raise, in a matter of months.

Coco needs a better plan. The mom would be better off in a nursing home, frankly.

The mother looks like Anderson Cooper in drag

She's too old to live alone.

The mom, I mean.

This is unacceptable. EVERYONE has to worry about elderly parents. It’s shitty to exploit fans this way. He should be working and spending his money on this. Not strangers money. Fuck HIM.

Can't mom get an OnlyFans?

[quote]This is unacceptable.

For you, sure. Others may feel differently.

[quote]It’s shitty to...(blah)...He should be...(blah)...Fuck HIM....(blah).

Who made you queen of the universe? Get a grip, Mary.

Coco should take mom to her house and sell mom’s condo to cover medical care. That’s how it works.

My dad was a Korean Vet, it's just me left, he started tumbling down hill, overnight about three years ago. He had nothing left and was nearly 1,800 miles away from me, always refused to move to be near me. NOBODY would help me. Not a soul. His military service from Korea was nothing but a note on his records. All this BULLSHIT we see on TV where there are all these programs and care for "Wounded Warriors" is a complete lie, developed for the millennial veterans to make profit. PROFIT. The Military would not help me. I had to somehow pay for him to get into a home until I could manage to beg my way into getting him approved for Medicaid, and you have no idea the humiliating process that is. There are/were no programs to help with funeral expenses, so savings and credit cards allowed me to bury him properly and honorably. I was desperate for any help until he finally died last October.

Sorry to hear about this drag queen's mother. I suppose if he can use his drag personal to work a few people to help out, good for him. But he isn't, by far, any unique case. He apparently knew this would be an issue, so maybe some of all that money spent on traveling around and buying outfits and props etc. could have gone to help him ready for the situation.

Coco @r31, YOU get the grip, Mary.

the grip? which grip?

If my fans are going to hang around the house, I'm going to put them to work.

R32 Coco's house in Los Angeles might not be a good fit for the mother. They might not have the space. She'd have to find different doctors.

Oh so that makes the GoFundMe less of a grift?!

How is this in any way a grift? Coco isn't keeping the money, or lying to people to get donations under false pretenses. Coco is very open about the reality of the situation, and how current financial arrangements are no longer sufficient.

She's asking for donations. Don't like it? Don't donate.

Not a donation—it’s not charity. It’s additional income to HER. Fuck that

R37 gotta make lemonade out of lemons.

Amazingly it worked.

Amazingly she will take a tax deduction for sending “excess proceeds” to an actual non-profit. Just a hunch?! Based only on sound & fury.

Some of you fat, miserable cunts are such......fat, miserable cunts.

R44 we might be miserable and we might be cunts but WE ARE NOT FAT!!

Hey many of us went through very similiar experiences and managed not to beg online. Keep close to your very own misery.

Awwww, poor widdle r46.

And right back at you Coco^^

Maybe Richard Day can donate some of the profits from Girls Will be Girls 2!

Lol, your bitterness is duly noted, r48.

Coco is a national treasure!

LET IT BE NOTED THAT MISS R45 IS NOT FAT.

She IS, however, a Miserable Cunt.

Coco is trying to steal the national treasure

[quote]I could manage to beg my way into getting him approved for Medicaid.

Well R33, if your dad was a Korean War vet (as was mine), he should've been on Medicare for a couple/three of decades as that happens when your 65. (And my dad died in 2013 at 83)

As for his funeral expenses, you knew he was going to die, you should've started saving years ago. Or taken out a life insurance policy on him.

[quote]I was desperate for any help until he finally died last October.

He could've died sooner. Just sayin'.

R54 you left out “pull a Coco” as an option.

P.S. that’s a joke -you could have shown a bit of empathy . Coco gets no empathy for her cash ask.

I'll help.

[quote]Based only on sound & fury.

Signifying nothing.

R58 CaptainObvious, thank you.

It’s coco’s responsibility. Not ours.

VA will pay up to $2,000 toward burial expenses for deaths on or after September 11, 2001, or up to $1,500 for deaths prior to September 11, 2001. If the Veteran is buried in a VA national cemetery, some or all of the cost of transporting the deceased may be reimbursed.

That’s a real make or break there 🤕

How could you not love this crusty old queen? She both loves and hates the world around her, just like the best DL icons.

Evie would let her mother live in the streets!

Looks like Coco was born in 1965, so she's 58.

So mom was almost 40? Maybe Coco was the youngest?

R64 Evie's mother died of Consumption long before they brought paved roads to what is now called Arizona. But by that time, Evie herself was long gone. The Chinamen couldn't lay down those rails fast enough for her to head out to Hollywood for her first Kinetoscope!

#44 = Coco

God, some of you are such cunts. Just because a person has some fame doesn't mean they have a fuckton of cash lying around. I love the backup Coco has in place case Helen dies before there is any money left as r14 pointed out. It is a sad but good win/win.

Here's one that you can be an asshole about if you are going to be an asshole about Coco. Paul McCartney is such a tight bitch. He always has been.

More here about that cheap cunt

What about her college professor husband who was making six figures? Did they spend it all on fancy restaurants and vacations in Spain?

[quote]God, some of you are such cunts. Just because a person has some fame doesn't mean they have a fuckton of cash lying around.

That's why some of us have a job.

[quote] God, some of you are such cunts. Just because a person has some fame doesn't mean they have a fuckton of cash lying around.

Yup. Lots of bitter Betty types on this thread, living in a house they only got because Mother left it to them in the will.....only THEY have a situation that actually deserves help/attention/money. They wouldn't dare ask for help because one never does such a gauche thing. One suffers in silence! They couldn't possibly launch a GoFundMe because when one has no friends, no one actually donates......

Coco still in the house!

I'm sad I missed her show a few months back.

R72 Your potshot was way off target. You have lousy aim.

[quote] Your potshot was way off target

Nah, it was a total bullseye.

More like bullshit. If you’re best argument for GoGriftMe is nah, nah…give it up. Go suck drag queen dick elsewhere

What happened, r77, that turned you into a rancid human being?

R77 I'd slap the nonsense out your mouth but then I'd have to touch you, and anyone who touches you gets scabies, so......silence, lesser.

I wish I could start a GFM account as "Evie Harris" or "Varla" just 'cause.

This probably isn’t the best place to do a GFM for your aging mom, since many here are in the same boat but don’t have celebrity friends who can donate thousands of dollars to irresponsible parents who didn’t plan ahead for their retirement.

R81 That is a sad statement, and untrue. She hasn't had that many "celebrity friends" donate. She's actually rather behind in the fundraiser. Most of the donations are in the $5 to $25 dollar range. Her fans who love her, love Helen. This isn't grifting. It is asking for help. Helen is 97. She has outlived her savings AND her insurance. In one sense we should all be so lucky. In another, this is exactly what happens when you outlive your savings and insurance, and your only kid who's been helping to support you this entire time doesn't have the money to make up for what other income has now been lost.

To =others who are being so shitty about this...You aren't being forced to donate, you can just share the link, or don't do anything. Should Helen die before the money is used it goes to an excellent resource. Read what she wrote. It is apparent most of you haven't. Coco is a treasure but missed the boat when it came to making what drag queens make now. She is still out there doing her shows and doing what she can to bring in the money. Rafael isn't exactly loaded. They've been supporting two homes in a high cost of living area, even though it is by far not a "fancy" area (Van Nuys). Coco's house is actually rather small. Some of you bitches seem to be getting Coco's income and lifestyle conflated with RuPaul's (Beverly Hills). One of those people were featured recently in Architectural Digest. It wasn't Coco.

Read them for FILTH, R82!!!!!!!!!

Coco has a good heart, she has talent and she hates kids.

I donated.

[quote] This probably isn’t the best place to do a GFM for your aging mom,

You do understand that DL is not gofundme, don’t you, dearheart?

R82 And I bet Ru donated a full four dollars to Coco's campaign.

Coco was doing NYC drag in the 90s, raising money for AIDS charities and the gay homeless, and practically performing under bridges to earn a buck for herself or a charity. She and Bea Arthur were actual friends in the small circle of "I love you, but fuck off" NYC performers.

If they want to eat, Coco and her mom can sell their snatches on The Boulevard like the rest of us.

The choice is theirs.

[quote]She is still out there doing her shows and doing what she can to bring in the money.

Is that why she's been kissing up to the trans mafia that tried to get her cancelled several years ago? She claimed they were admonishing her (over what, I do not know), so she was considering early retirement because of all the drama. Now she’s doing shows again and sharing the “Umbrella of Gender Identities” with her followers. I guess Coco’s castle-hopping in Europe finally caught up with her!

R88 Castle-hopping? Who are you kidding?

The cheap queen sticks to Spain, and not the glamorous districts of Madrid, either.

Her husband is a hot piece of ass… he should be the one slutting himself out on the streets to raise funds.

The things that man puts up with - -

Tell me about it… I own an Irish Setter, so I completely empathize.

She doesn't love you.

You'll thank me later.

r90 Pics?

My mom calls Black children "Coco Puffs."

Yeah, I don't stop by for Thanksgiving anymore.

r95: My old aunt Mae used to refer to mixed-race children as "Cocoa-Marsh kids".

Coco's mother Helen requires assistance because she wants to remain in her home even though if she spent down her assets (the sale of her home) Medicaid pays for nursing home care! It's just that Coco doesn't want her to have to move. I get it, but guess what? You can't afford it and don't have that option!

Everyone quit begging online!

She's not quite there yet.

Shake that tin cup, bitch!

[quote]Coco was doing NYC drag in the 90s.

I guess one of us invested our To Wong Foo salary wiser.

My supermarket had a stack of panettone on display today. I thought of Coco with fondness when I saw it.

R99 Where's YOUR mother, bitch? I'm guessing you froze out your entire family as soon as you got famous back in '93. Just like that cow, Oprah.

Drag queens are boring 🥱😴

Sadly, Helen died on Sunday. Coco is returning the money to those who donated to the fundraiser.

They were so close, and Helen was such a big part of her humor.

Her statement below:

Condolences to Coco. And it's a very classy move to return the donations.

Like the Police song, her mother is now everywhere watching over you.

Yeah, that’s clumsy of me. Why the fuck should I cry when I’m jealous of a great relationship.

I need to turn off the internet for a while.

[qoute] My husband, Rafael, and I have been paying off her mortgage and condo maintenance for a while

Her mother is 97 and is still paying off a mortgage? What did her mother do, take out a 75 year mortgage?

The mortgage would be a fraction of the HOA fees, r106.

When or if you take care of others, you will understand.

I am still sad for a strangers loss.
