Joan Rivers Didn't Just Tell Jokes. She Fought For AIDS Patients And Suicide Prevention, Too
Don’t be fooled — while Joan Rivers’ unfiltered brand of comedy didn’t always show it, the legendary entertainer had a heart of gold.
Rivers died Thursday in New York City, daughter, Melissa, confirmed on the comedian’s website. The 81-year-old had been rushed to Mount Sinai Hospital on Aug. 28 after she stopped breathing during throat surgery at a nearby clinic. She spent the past week in and out of intensive care treatment.
While Rivers will be remembered as a comedic star, her selflessness left an immeasurable impact on the causes near and dear to her heart.
Rivers supported nonprofit God’s Love We Deliver for decades, delivering food to HIV/AIDS patients and their families in New York City. In an interview with E News posted on the organization’s YouTube channel last year, Rivers talked about her experiences trying to help friends in the early days of the epidemic.
“So many of my friends in those days were getting ‘gay pneumonia,’ and then when it became known as AIDS, people didn’t want to touch these people,” Rivers told E News. “They couldn’t get help. There was one hairdresser that was a very good friend of mine, and we said, ‘let’s start bringing him food,’ and it started to grow.”
God’s Love We Deliver provides about 4,500 meals daily to its community. Roughly 90 percent of those served live below the poverty line.

Rivers was also an avid supporter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, where she served as an honorary director. The issue directly affected Rivers’ life, as her husband, Edgar Rosenberg, took his own life in 1987.

Rivers used her star power to raise awareness for those living with visual impairments. A longtime supporter of Guide Dogs for the Blind, Rivers was slated to be a guest of honor at the organization’s Canine Heroes Auction on Sept. 20. The California school, which connects qualified guide dogs with individuals who are blind or have low vision, provided a statement on its website offering condolences for Rivers’ family.

Several celebrities quickly took to social media and released statements regarding the comedian’s death. Actor and fellow comedian Louis C.K. shared his thoughts on the legendary entertainer.
“She loved living and working,” Louis C.K. said of Rivers, according to the Associated Press. “She was kind. She was real. She was brave. She was funny and you just wanted to be around her. I looked up to her. I learned from her. I loved her. I liked her. And I already miss her very much.”

'Citizen Gino' May Retire His Race and Gay Cards
Friends attend Chi-Ming “Gino” Kuo’s swearing-in ceremony as a United States citizen at Manhattan’s United States Southern District Court on Aug. 22 with homemade, tongue-in-cheek “Gino for President” signs
Chi-Ming Kuo is known to all his many friends and acquaintances as “Gino,” a name he says he saw on an Italian water ices sign at a pizza parlor after getting off from a subway station when he first arrived in New York from his native Taiwan. Many of his New York City friends were with him on Pearl Street in lower Manhattan on Aug. 22 when Kuo, 35, finally took the oath as a United States citizen in a jury room of the United States Southern District Court.
A name-inspiring sign
Kuo, who is single, works at Macy’s Inc. on Herald Square as a marketing manager for all company-wide digital media incrementality measurement, whatever that is, but almost every evening he can be found with friends at spinning class at his health club.
Kuo came to New York after completing his military duty after college in his hometown of Tainan City in Taiwan, where his father, now retired, was one of the borough presidents. Kuo was the student conductor in his high school wind ensemble and later a prize-winning athlete in aerobics competitions. After earning a degree in economics as a member of Taiwan’s Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society at National Central University, he made the momentous decision to come to the United States to study for a master’s degree in marketing at New York University, which he completed in 2006.
Two of Kuo’s closest friends, Joe and Anthony, both New York City bus drivers, are a longtime couple who make up a regular trio for with him for pre-theater dining at Becco on 45th Street’s “Restaurant Row.” To them, “you can’t get more American than Gino. He’s very never afraid to voice his opinions and yet has a great sense of humor. Not only can he dish it out, but also take it.”

Another close friend, Kimo Jung, a shopkeeper and friend from the gym, says, “Gino has a lust for life that will make him the very best of Americans; he’s always doing, going, tasting, trying. He has a joie de vivre that, I am certain, bumped up our country’s average the moment he completed his naturalization pledge.”
Kuo himself says, “It was extremely surreal for me when the judge handed me my neutralization certificate that Friday morning. I went from not knowing how to order a proper roast beef roll the first week I arrived in New York for school — I literally got a roll with a whole bunch of roast beef, nothing else — to now looking forward to voting at the next election. I can finally feel legit when I watch Bill Maher on HBO and Meet the Press on Sunday morning.”
Dropping his insouciant humor for at least one sentence, Kuo says, “Growing up in democracy, it pained me in the past few years that I was living here, paying the same amount of taxes, if not more, yet not being able to vote. I’m so glad my opinions finally count! In addition, I’m very hopeful about the equal rights developments in my new country as I plan to retire my race card and gay card very soon!”
