Jennifer Aniston is sharing the love for Matthew Perry a month after his tragic passing.
On Nov. 28, the Morning Show star asked fans to donate to Perry's newly established foundation via Instagram Stories, writing, "For #GivingTuesday please join me and Matty's family in supporting his foundation - which is working to help those suffering with addiction"
She added, "He would have been grateful for the love," and shared a quote of Perry's that read, "Addiction is far too powerful for anyone to defeat alone. But together, one day at a time, we can beat it down."
After Perry's passing, Aniston shared a heartbreaking message about what her Friends costar meant to her.
"Oh boy this one has cut deep...," she wrote on Instagram.
"Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before."
She continued, "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."
