Attention Coco Peru Fans and Fellow Coco Puffs!

If you love Coco, you love her mother Helen. Well, they need our help. I hope this fucking link works. It explains the situation well via Coco herself. Give what you can, or share if you can't.

Roy Haylock pulled 10k out of Bianca del Rio's bra. Graham Norton found 2k in his couch cushions. It's always fun to stalk the high spenders.

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.

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.
