Appeal begins to help Jason Molina and family pay escalating medical costs
Jason Molina, the hugely revered cult singer-songwriter known to many for such projects as Magnolia Electric Company and Songs: Ohia has, for the past few years been in and out of rehab centres battling his addictions. As an artist very close to our hearts here at The Line Of Best Fit, we urge you to read the following statement from Molina’s family and, if you can, donate whatever you can afford towards this hugely talented man’s recovery. Thank-you.
Many of you have inquired as to Jason’s whereabouts and well-being since he canceled his tours with Will Johnson in 2009. Over the last two years Jason has been in and out of rehab facilities and hospitals in England, Chicago, Indianapolis, and New Orleans. It has been a very trying time for Jason, his friends, and his family. Although no one can be sure what the future holds, we feel very encouraged by the recent steps Jason has taken on the road towards becoming healthy and productive once again. Unfortunately, because he has no medical insurance, he has accrued substantial medical bills. We are asking all friends of Jason’s music to come together with a showing of financial support for him. Please consider a contribution to his medical fund. Feel free to forward this to any and all appropriate parties. We are hoping to raise whatever funds we possibly can for Jason. He is currently working on a farm in West Virginia raising goats and chickens for the next year or so, and is looking forward to making great music again. Please also show your support and well wishes by sending letters and postcards to:
