GoFundMe Campaign Launched for Veteran Director Roy Karch

GoFundMe Campaign Launched for Veteran Director Roy Karch

HOLLYWOOD — A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help retired adult movie director Roy Karch live out his days in peace following a devastating stroke he suffered earlier this year.

Friends say Karch is in need of financial help while suffering from serious dementia and rapidly declining health.

“Roy has been unable to work for a number of years and is penniless because he didn’t plan very well and for the past 10 months he’s been bedridden, partially paralyzed due to the stroke and unable get out of bed to use the bathroom, so he needs help now,” longtime friend Jeff Mullen revealed.

Mullen has been taking care of Karch by organizing round-the-clock caregivers, purchasing his groceries and paying his bills, and noted that the government benefits Karch receive do not come close to paying all of his bills.

“It sucks to get old but it must be devastating to be old, disabled, completely mentally disoriented with no family and really nowhere to turn next. His only brother died four days after his stroke,” Mullen said. “The caregivers are wonderful and do some really dirty, difficult work so we’ve been doing the best we can to keep Roy fed and as comfortable as possible and hopefully he’ll make it to the summer with your help, so please give if you are able.”

“‘Tis the season to help out one of the early pioneers of this business,” Mullen concluded. “Donate what you can and even if you’re a young person and don’t know Roy Karch, no gift is too small, so please give and share this message.”

Karch’s 73rd birthday is December 21, several days before Christmas.
