Got Lots of Debt? Should Have Been a COHEED AND CAMBRIA Fan

by | Jun 30, 2014

If you’re in lots of debt and in the process of getting evicted, what do you do? Well, for Cyndi Crouch, a mother of three in Meridian, MS with another on the way, you launch a GoFundMe campaign and hope for the best. Lucky for her, Coheed and Cambria came to the rescue.

Crouch and her husband had launched the crowdfunding campaign after falling over $2000 behind on their mortgage, facing eviction. A staff member of the band’s official fan site, Cobalt & Calcium, her story caught the group’s attention, and they ended up donating $3000 to her.

Cyndi, You have been there for us for so long, we deeply appreciate your neverending support. You will get through this! Sincerely, Coheed and Cambria

The family have raised enough money to get caught up on their bills.

She said,

If I live for another hundred years, I will spend them doing exactly what I have been, telling everyone about this band… They deserve it because of the people they are, kind thoughtful and caring, selfless and giving. For seeing a family and need and saving our lives, our gratitude is deep and Neverending.
