Overview
- Carey Means posted on Facebook that he and his wife face homelessness after a rent hike, writing “Homeless! Please Help!!” in a message first shared on Tuesday, June 2.
- Means directed supporters to at least two active GoFundMe pages, payment apps, and sales of autographed plushies on his website, and the fundraisers had not reached their goals in early June.
- Means has said he experienced a cardiac arrest in 2022 and has limited ability to work outside the home, a condition he says has hurt his income and access to residuals or royalties.
- Leah Means has described GoFundMe money as intended for basics like lights, internet, and food and has been selling handcrafted, autographed Aqua Teen plushies to help pay bills.
- Reporters note this case echoes previous reports of financial strain among some Adult Swim-connected voice actors and raises questions about long-term pay and support for veteran performers.
