Members of The Ghost Inside and their crew were injured in a horrific accident
Members of The Ghost Inside and their crew were injured in a horrific accident on highway 180 in Texas that tragically claimed two lives.
Tragically, The Ghost Inside's tour bus driver died during the accident and leaves behind a child. We hope to help cover funeral expenses for him and his family.
I initially started this campaign as an effort to raise money for my friend Chris and the rest of the band who were injured on the tour bus. I have known Chris for several years when my friend JT Cavey joined Texas In July and played with him.
Multiple members of the band and crew suffered serious injuries during the ordeal. Two members of the band had to be airlifted which is extremely expensive. Equipment was also lost in addition to expensive medical bills incurred. This is extremely costly for the band.
I will be transferring the funds directly to The Ghost Inside's management who I have been in contact with directly to use the funds to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of equipment and associated fees.
Any amount of money you can contribute to this fund is greatly appreciated. It is extremely difficult for a band to cover expenses from a tragic event such as this one.
Here's an update from Jim Riley of The Ghost Inside on the conditions of his bandmates:
"I am really struggling to find words today for what the last 24 hours have brought. First and foremost I would like to send my condolences to the families of the two drivers that lost their lives in the accident yesterday. I hope that their loss is not forgotten in all this tragedy. Secondly I have to say that the amount of actual assistance being provided to all of us is nothing short of overwhelming. Far beyond thoughts and prayers but actual tangible help that will go a long way in what is sure to be a lengthy recovery. At this moment everyone has family with them and they are being treated by incredible medical staff here in El Paso. I know everyone is anxious for information. It will come when it's appropriate. For now know that everyone's condition is stable or better and the love you are raining down during this unthinkable time is felt by the ones that need it most. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. TGI forever."
We are raising the goal to $90,000. It CANNOT be understated how extensive these medical bills are expected to be, in addition to the loss of a human life (where sadly, no amount of money will ever compensate for that loss)
