GoFundMe Tops Goal for L7 Bassist Jennifer Finch After Brain Cancer Diagnosis

The campaign will pay for in‑home nursing, rehabilitation, medical equipment and efforts to preserve Finch’s creative work.

Overview

  • L7 announced on Monday that bassist Jennifer Finch has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer and asked fans to respect her privacy and dignity while she receives care.
  • A GoFundMe launched by friend Aubree Miller rapidly exceeded its target, raising roughly $300,000–$365,000 within days and officially reaching the stated goal.
  • High‑profile donations include contributions from Brett Gurewitz, Garbage, Jeff Ament and an anonymous $40,000 donor, alongside hundreds of smaller gifts from fans.
  • Organizers say Finch has faced unforeseen complications and multiple surgeries that left her with significant physical limits, and she will not join L7’s October Last Hurrah tour with Tsuzumi Okai filling in at her request.
  • Funds are earmarked to cover professional in‑home nursing, physical and speech therapy, medical equipment, home‑care costs and work to archive or complete Finch’s planned creative project, reflecting broader community support for her care and legacy.
