A GoFundMe fundraiser has been started on behalf of The Incredible Hulk and Young Justice writer Peter David.
The GoFundMe fundraiser was created on Nov. 27, 2022, and has raised over $7,600 as of this article's publication. The description for the fundraiser, created by Graham Murphy, reads, "Hi, everyone. I'm fundraising for author Peter David and his family. He's had some compounded health problems, and the bills are piling up! On top of kidney failure, and the steep medical bills incurred from that, he just had another series of strokes AND a mild heart attack. As we wish him a swift recovery, and send our love and support to his wife Kathleen and his family, let's also pitch in and help with their medical bills and living expenses. Please give what you can to relieve some of the immense stress that this family is going through right now. On behalf of Peter, Kathleen, and the whole family, thank you!"
On Nov. 28, 2022, Peter's spouse Kathleen commented on the GoFundMe page, "Kath here. Thank you to everyone who has helped us. This morning they put a heart monitor in his chest to keep an eye on what is going on with his heart. There are still a series of tests they need to do with his carotid arteries before we know the next step. On the good side, the stroke and the aftershocks were not as bad as ten years ago. He working hard on his physical therapy and is bouncing back much better this time around. If he keeps it up then he is home. He is still the wisecracking storyteller he has always been He wanted me to tell you that he appreciates all your kind wishes and support. It means the world to him. More news as I get it. Please spread the word. I would like be able to make Hannukah and Christmas a good one for him. His daughter, grandsons, and grand daughter and his family appreciate your support too."
