Sanguisugabogg Vocalist to Donate Proceeds from ‘Free Luigi’ Shirt to Combat Medical Debt
His band may be one of the more brutal acts to come out in recent years, but Sanguisugabogg vocalist Devin Swank (and the rest of the guys, really) seems like a real stand up dude. Sure, he put together a gruesome shirt depicting Nintendo’s Luigi gunning down Bowser as a commentary on the slaying of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson at the hands of Luigi Mangione, but he’s not doing it for personal gain. In fact, some folks might get their medical debt erased as a result.
In an Instagram post about the shirt, Swank revealed that he was not only taking pre-orders for the thing, but that all proceeds would go to both Undue Medical Debt and the Patient Advocate Foundation. And though preorders for the shirt will end Monday, Swank also offered links so fans can donate directly to both causes in his Linktree.
“Thank you guys for your orders while I get everything set up I wanted everyone to know not only is this design purely out of comedy and not advocating any side of the matter I wanna give back and let people know that the money being spent on these will go to actual good use and that I will be giving back and supporting 2 organizations with an equal donation that helps people receive healthcare and not get buried by the burden of medical debt.”
“Undue Medical Debt – A nonprofit organization that’s rated 4/4 Stars on Charity Navigator with a mission to buy and erase the medical debts of everyday people, freeing them from bills they can’t afford
“Patient Advocate Foundation – A nonprofit organization rated 4/4 stars on Charity Navigator with a mission to safeguard patients with chronic, life-threatening and debilitating diseases by effectively meditating issues related to access to care and preserving their financial stability
“Nobody should be denied medical help or be in a heaping pile of debt just to be able to stick around in life and that’s something I think everyone can agree on.
“I’ve posted links in my Linktree to donate to both of these organizations even if you wish to order a shirt or not.”
Based as fuck.
