Cordero's wife, Amanda Kloots, had been giving updates about the Broadway star's harrowing battle with COVID-19, including complications he suffered that resulted in doctors amputating one of his legs. He then spent weeks in a coma that he only woke up from in mid-May. Meanwhile, the New York-based family—Nick, Amanda and their now 10-month-old son, Elvis—had been living in Braff's guest house in Los Angeles for months.

Unbeknownst to most, they had been bunking there while house-hunting in L.A. and Braff insisted they remain when Cordero got sick. Kloots' brother and sister moved in too to help care for Elvis.

"We obviously stay social distanced from them, but we bring them food and wine and flowers," Braff told The Hollywood Reporter, "we" being himself and girlfriend Florence Pugh. "And then there's this amazing community around them: you can look online and see the hashtag, #WakeUpNick, and there's a GoFundMe."
