A GoFundMe has been started to assist the family of James 'Kamala' Harris in the wake of his passing.

The wrestling legend passed away over the weekend, allegedly due to complications from diabetes. Kamala's legs had both been amputated in recent years due to complications from diabetes as well.

The co-writer of Kamala's autobiography says COVID-19 also played a part in his death.

A friend of the wrestler started a GoFundMe on Monday to help with financial assistance for his family. The information in the fundraiser says:

To millions of people across the world, Kamala the Ugandan Giant was a wrestling icon who entertained fans for three decades. The image of Kamala slapping his belly after one of his trademark chops or body-slams will forever be etched in our memory. To so many others, though, Kamala was simply James Harris, a good ol’ southerner from Mississippi who loved his wife, long truck rides, crab legs, singing ... and, most of all, laughing. James was one of the kindest, most gentle souls on this earth, and he was taken from us way too soon when he passed Aug. 9 from complications from diabetes 

Because James brought so much joy to so many of us, let’s repay the favor and give something back. Along with funeral expenses, this fundraiser will help his wife, Emmer Jean, get back on her feet after a taxing 10 years, as she was forced to quit her job to care for James full time after he lost both of his legs to diabetes. Emmer Jean is a true warrior who stood by her husband’s side until the very end. Let’s honor Kamala - let’s honor JAMES - and give her some help.
