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

sweet man… better bring us some pics

i’d donate but i’m not rolling in the G’s like ya’ll be

I’d be more than happy to contribute, but i’m not exactly rolling in it either. I’ll send a few bucks their way though, as i’m sure the small amounts (which i’m sure will be many) will add up.

Trent… What a guy. Mad respect.

Shame I’m officially piss broke.

awesome REVCO. awesome. let us know what happens.

this is awesome. nice work revco, i envy your finances, but more importantly your selflessness.

Nice. Does that include meeting Jane’s?

Our healthcare financing system does suck big donkey balls. A damn travesty. Come on Obama…

Oh what i’d give to ever have a conversation with Perry. The guy is so out there, but that’s what makes him great. Hell, meeting even Eric Avery would be something to never forget. Love Deconstruction and Polar Bear to death.

It is very sad that for some of us it is going to come down to someone else sitting in an office deciding if we live or die based on money and/or actuarial tables.

Timing is critical for organ transplants; I hope everything works out for Mr. de le Cruz.

Just came across this from Moveon.org. If you guys are interested in e-signing a petition for healthcare reform. This just pisses me off every day…
