A Letter from Trent:

This is for something important. Eric De La Cruz is dying and needs a heart transplant. He keeps getting turned down for a transplant list because he’s on Nevada Medicaid, and there are no transplant centers in Nevada. We want to get involved and hopefully so do you, so we’re extending a hand. His sister Veronica (former Anchor and Internet Correspondent for CNN) has started a campaign to save his life.

Eric’s situation shines a bright light on a broken health care system, and his particular set of problems are being addressed on the political front, aiming for reform in addition to the need for immediate financial help to keep him alive TODAY. I think we can help with the latter.

Here’s what we’re offering – three options:

If you have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,000 to this cause, we’ll invite you to come hang out with us before the NIN/JA show of your choice. You and a guest can watch soundcheck, eat dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and watch the show from the side of the stage if you’d like.

If you donate $300, you and a friend can join us for soundcheck and a handshaking / hug session before doors open at the NIN/JA show of your choice.

If you do NOT have a ticket to a NIN/JA show: if you donate $1,200 to this cause, we’ll invite you to come hang out with us before the NIN/JA show of your choice and provide 2 tickets (best available). You and a guest can watch soundcheck, eat dinner backstage with us, take pics / get autographs and watch the show from the side of the stage if you’d like.

100% of the money collected from this will go directly to Eric’s fund.

I hope you’ll consider helping out with this.

Sincerely, Trent Reznor

Can trent/NIN get any more awsome.

I have millions of my own, but I'm just gonna use my name to collect more from you guys then just give it to him... I'll say it's from both of us.

[Diddlez]

Same.

Dunno MOP, Trent gives a shitload of money away already. Simply because he has it doesn't mean he should give it all away. He does a ton of shit for his fans for free. He said awhile back that the web site and projects related to it cost $20k/month. Dunno if you've ever made $20k in your entire life, BUT IT"S A GODDAMN LOT FRIEND. lolol.

I think it's cool though. So far they raised a total of $600+k. Very impressive. Fans get pretty cool stuff for that donation too. Win/win for all involved I think.
