Jennifer Aniston Shows Support For Matthew Perry's Foundation For 'Giving Tuesday'

Jennifer Aniston continues to preserve her dear friend Matthew Perry's legacy at any chance she gets.

For 'Giving Tuesday' Aniston proudly showed her support for her late "Friends" co-star's foundation as they sought donations to continue their battle against substance addiction.

Perry passed away on October 28 after he was found drowned in his hot tub. Aniston was deeply affected by his passing.

Aniston took to her Instagram Story to publicize an update from the Matthew Perry Foundation, seeking donations. For #GivingTuesday please join me and Matty's family in supporting his foundation — which is working to help those suffering with addiction ?," she wrote. "He would have been grateful for the love."

For the day dedicated to celebrating, championing, and participating in philanthropic endeavors, Perry's Foundation took to Instagram with a message: "The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew’s enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction. It honors his legacy, guided by his own words and driven by his passion for making a difference in as many lives as possible."

Alongside a photo of a younger Perry, the page shared a poignant quote from the late star about addiction which read, "Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down."

In a separate statement, the foundation explained how the donations would honor the "Fools Rush In" actor. "It is important to us as a family to honor Matthew's legacy. The potential that the Matthew Perry Foundation has to help those suffering with this disease is something we are proud to bring to the world."

Perry’s stepfather, journalist Keith Morrison, also took to social media to spread the message while encouraging his followers to consider supporting the cause. "This is not the sort of thing I commonly do, this pitch. But this year is different. And tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. Do what you can; he would have been grateful. https://matthewperryfoundation.org."

Fans were quite responsive to the message, pledging to make donations to the late actor's foundation. One fan wrote, "Your family and all who love him have been and will remain in my prayers. Giving, and being kind, is never a bad ask. So, yes," while another penned, "Sorry for your family. I definitely will donate a little. We will miss Matthew!"

Others shared stories about how Perry's transparency with his addiction struggles helped them on their journey. "I never got to tell Matthew how his book helped me. So I’m telling you in case you see this tweet. Forever grateful for him sharing his story. I am so sorry for your loss," an Internet user wrote.

The Matthew Perry Foundation was launched on November 3, with the goal of "identifying addiction as a disease, addressing the complex of stigmas that prevents individuals from seeking and accessing care, and fiercely advocating for better and more equitable treatment."

Aniston's love for her late co-star is undeniable and she radiated it in her statement addressing his passing. The award-winning actress alongside her "Friends" co-star broke their silence about Perry's death weeks after his funeral.

The "Murder Mystery" star shared a series of photos, including a screenshot of a conversation she had with Perry prior to his death. "Oh boy this one has cut deep…Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I've never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love," she began her statement.

She continued, "Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep. And we loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be."

Aniston spoke deeply about her close pal, adding, "For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the 'laugh' he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I've been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all."

Her heartwarming message concluded, "Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying "could you BE any crazier?" Rest little brother. You always made my day…"
