Trent Reznor Asks for Donations to Save Dying Man

Trent Reznor posted a plea today on nin.com for one of the latest victims of the U.S.’s current health care system. Eric De La Cruz has been rejected twice from the heart transplant list because he’s on Nevada Medicaid and there are no transplant centers in the state – he cannot obtain private insurance or Medicaire because he has a preexisting condition.

For donations of varying size, Reznor is offering time with Nine Inch Nails at their shows while on tour with Jane’s Addiction: “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 contributed will be allocated directly to Eric’s fund.
