Attention! One of our own needs your help!
SAVE ART THE CLOWN
You screamed with him in the pit. You got pictures with him. He’s in a hospital bed right now and is in critical condition, and him and his family needs you more than ever.
No band, no stage, no backstage passes, just a man in a ruined greasepaint who turned up at every festival and made a field full of strangers feel like one crowd. He never asked for a dollar. He just handed out chaos and let anyone take the photo.
Behind the mask is Aleksandr Nalivaiko. Off the festival grounds Aleksandr works as a truck driver to support his family. What should have been just another day at work turned into a life-changing tragedy. He has suffered a server brain bleed, multiple facial injuries, three broken ribs, and a punctured lung. He is currently unable to breathe on his own and remains in critical condition as doctors prepare for surgery.
He never asked for anything while giving everything to this community. Today, he needs us. If you can help, every single dollar brings hope to Aleksandr and his family.
If you can’t donate, share. Tag your friends. Tag your family. Tag your friends bands. The more eyes that see it, the more we can help this incredible family.
