weloveeric.com/My friend and I donated to this cause which was brought to the NIN fan community's attention by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. During their US Tour this spring they offered fan packages with soundchecks and meet and greets to raise money to help this young man get medical treatment for a heart transplant. It opened my eyes to our nations failing health care system, which we should all be concerned about. I believe the initial monetary amount for Eric's treatment has been reached and now the donations they receive are going to LifeGiver Project to help others in the same/similar situation. Even if you don't donate money to this cause, you can also sign your driver's license to be a organ donor. NIN's is still offering autographed packages here.

Thanks, Mendi. Our health care system is so fucked up. We're viewed by so many to be the most powerful country in the world, yet here we are, letting our own citizens die. For what? A broken system? Stupidity by the law-makers? And Eric is unfortunately only one of many. Here's his story on YouTube. (I got this from Trent's Twitter.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XILMyiw9NI
