Earlier today, Horse The Band frontman Nathan Winneke revealed that he’s been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) and as a result, he needs help covering his medical bills since he can’t work at the moment. As a result, it’s time for our community to do the right thing and break out our wallets to help an artist in need, as he’s since launched a GoFundMe page to help crowdfund his medical expenses.
Now, I’m not gonna go on a political tangent about how it’s criminal someone needs to go to GoFundMe to cover health costs when they live in the most wealthy nation on the planet and could have their needs met, but it should go without saying at this point. Still, Nathan needs our help and here’s his explanation of what went down and what he needs:
“My name is Nathan, and I’m reaching out for support as I navigate life with Multiple Sclerosis. Since my diagnosis, the medical bills have piled up quickly, and the illness has made it impossible for me to continue working. On top of managing my health, I also have a family who depends on me, which makes this journey even more challenging.
“The funds raised will go directly toward my ongoing treatments, medications, and the monthly expenses that have become difficult to manage. Every bit of support will help ease the financial burden on my family and allow me to focus on my health and well-being. Living with MS means facing new obstacles every day, from physical symptoms to emotional stress, and your support can make a real difference in my life.
“I’m grateful for any help you can offer, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story. Thank you for taking the time to read about my situation and for considering a contribution to help me and my family during this difficult time.”
Horse The Band reunited back in 2024 after taking a five year hiatus to play a buncha shows the following year celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2005 album The Mechanical Hand. They’ve since been playing shows here and there, with plans to play this year’s Aftershock Festival in October. They also have plans to go on tour with Dance Gavin Dance, The Fall of Troy, Wolf & Bear, and Novelists starting in May. There’s no news at this time as to what Winneke’s diagnosis will do to those plans, but once we know we’ll keep you informed.
In the meantime, if you have the means and can comfortably contribute, feel free to donate to Winneke’s health care fund. It’s a worthwhile effort.
