In a recent interview with TMZ, Kevin revealed that he used the funds raised through his daughter’s GoFundMe campaign to purchase a new home in Pahrump, Nevada. The campaign, which garnered almost $500,000, provided Kevin with approximately $350,000 after GoFundMe fees.
“He originally began working at this job as a single father when he gained custody of me and my older sister 27 years ago,” his daughter Seryna wrote on the GoFundMe Page.
The new house, acquired for $177,000, features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a covered front deck, a fenced-in yard, and stunning mountain views. Kevin expressed his intention to invest further in enhancing the property. He also generously supported his daughter by contributing to her homeownership aspirations and secured a portion of the funds for his retirement.
