Ensign guitarist in cancer battle, fund created

An online fund has been created to help raise money for Ensign member Nate Gluck, who is currently suffering from cancer in his stomach and esophagus.

Currently running via gofundme.com, the initiative aims to raise $50, 000 to help with the medical costs associated with the illness and its subsequent treatment.

“Things have been incredibly hard on them as of late, and they desperately need our help. Nate's wife, Christy, is one of my best friends. She lost her job, has been unable to find a new one, and now desperately wants to be able to take care of Nate while he is undergoing treatment. To make matters worse, Their financial situation has become dire. They will lose their home if they are unable to pay their mortgage and the medical expenses are already mounting. It's horrible, and if they lose this house they will not have anywhere to go nor the funds to find a new home. They have no savings and the medical bills are already piling up,” fund creator Jenna Ross writes.

Similarly, Converge offered the following update via Facebook:

“Our old friend Nathan from the band Ensign is in some very dire times. The hardcore scene loves to talk about community and helping each other out..... Now is the chance to literally put our money where our mouths are.

Please donate anything you can spare. It all helps.”
