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 – and he cannot obtain private insurance or Medicare because he has a preexisting condition. His sister Veronica (former CNN Anchor) has started a campaign to save his life.
For donations of varying size, Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) is offering backstage access to their shows: “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. If you donate 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.”
Reznor confirms that 100% of the money collected will go directly to Eric’s fund. At this time, over $550,000 has been raised.
