The family of Samuel Monroe Jr., who starred in the 1993 film 'Menace II Society,' started a GoFundMe to help pay his medical bills. The actor is currently on life support in a hospital fighting meningitis.
Samuel Monroe Jr., known for his role in the classic 1993 film 'Menace II Society,' is fighting for his life on a hospital ventilator. The actor is battling meningitis, a serious infection that causes brain and spinal cord swelling.
His wife Shawna Stewart told TMZ that medical bills are piling up fast. The family created a GoFundMe page to ask for help paying the costs.
The fundraising page says every donation will help ease the burden on Samuel's family. It specifically mentions ensuring his children Kingston and Brooklynn get the support they need during this difficult time.
Meningitis can be life-threatening and often requires long hospital stays with expensive treatments. Even with insurance, families often face thousands of dollars in medical debt.
This shows how quickly medical emergencies can create crushing debt, even for people who worked in Hollywood. Many families face similar financial stress when a loved one has a serious illness.
The family continues raising money while Samuel remains hospitalized fighting the infection.
