NIN Fans for Andrew Youssef - Dontations

[heavenly_bearded]

As many of you already know, Andrew Youssef is a huge NIN fan much like ourselves. He is currently battling colon cancer. He was given free passes to see NIN and photograph the performance this past Saturday in Las Vegas. His health took a turn for the worse and he was unable to be in attendance.

This last weekend on Saturday, Trent hosted a live video chat with Andrew in front of the packed crowd at The Joint before playing his favorite song In This Twilight. It was the most heartwarming experience I have ever been a part of and it brought me to tears, as well as just about everyone else in the building. For a live video please see here: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/vi...-show-20131121

While in attendance at this show, I was with many people from the nin.com forums and Facebook NIN group friends. We have decided to set up a charity to help Andrew and his family cover the costs of his treatments and hospital bills. The facebook group can be found over here: https://www.facebook.com/NINfans4Andrew

PAYPAL DONATIONS CAN BE SENT HERE! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...=2MNKWLDEJ5668

We have decided to use Paypal to hopefully avoid giving out a whole bunch of fees to various organizations. This Paypal is in the name of Andrew Youssef and we have already verified that in the time of his passing, his family will have access to this account to cover whatever treatment/bills/etc...

If at all possible, please send via 'friends and family' option to avoid fees going to Paypal. There is no minimum donation and every little bit helps. Even if you cannot make a financial contribution, we ask that you please share this to help spread the word whether it me word of mouth, social media sites, twitterbopping and google circling, whatever it is, raise some awareness.

Or stop here and say hello, share your photos/videos: http://nin4andrew.tumblr.com/

Now, to get the ball rolling... I am willing to ship a FREE Still CD that is brand new and sealed to anyone who makes a $10 donation or more! I will cover the shipping cost out of my own pocket if you are inside the continental USA, outside the USA please contact for shipping. All you have to do is send payment to the above paypal address, then send me a PM here with your email address payment was sent from and shipping address. Once I verify your email I will ship the CD via USPS First Class with tracking number. Though I am not sending in money I am putting in a lot of time and effort into doing whatever I can to help. This is my contribution.



We love you Andrew! Stay strong!

EDIT:
Andrew Youssef passed away on Saturday 11/30/13 at the age of 38. I have been in communication with his brother and he was surrounded by his family at the time of passing and he went very peacefully.

"Hello all. Just wanted to let you hear the unfortunate news. Andrew passed away yesterday. He was surrounded by his family and loved ones and went peacefully.
It's been a tough month for sure, but I can honestly tell you, that your efforts and love have made a big difference for the family and Andrew.
If you want to update the website with this news that would be appreciated. We are working on finalizing services and dates for funeral and will update you accordingly.
Thanks again for everything team. Lots of love. More work to do though. Sorry if I missed someone on this. Apologize on my behalf if I did.
Love Pat and the Youssef Family."

It is very sad to hear about this. His family needs your prayers and donations more now than ever.
