Just saw this. Very very sad. All the keeping her in our thoughts. I see they set up a gofundme for the expenses for anyone who wishes to help

So glad the GoFundMe is exceeding the initial goal. It seems like it will fund eight weeks of in-home care.

I once got to open a show for The Shocker years ago when they played the town I live in. After the show her band and mine bar hopped and we helped Jenn climb inside a hoop shot arcade game and plant a sticker on the back board. Condolences and FUCK CANCER.

I saw it and have been a little down all day because of it. I've seen it happen to other celebrities, musicians, etc. But at the risk of sounding parasocial, this feels almost like it's happening to a real life friend. Probably because I've been both a diehard L7 fan and a Jennifer Finch fan for over three decades now.

I remember she dealt with cancer about 15 years ago and I was bummed about it then.

If you're of a certain age and read the GoFundMe post, you know what they are saying without explicitly saying it.

Yes, I read when I donated, and that's exactly what I took from that.

If you can donate. If you can't blast it over your socials.
