"We love our sister, and we couldn't be more touched by the outpouring of love, support, and deep community that surrounds her, us, and L7."

Singer/guitarist Donita Sparks shared that statement, underscoring the support from bandmates and the wider music community as Finch faces this difficult period.

Metal Addicts noted that the band's tour is branded as a final world tour, making Finch's health battle a stark counterpoint to what should be a celebratory farewell to fans. The GoFundMe campaign aims to address both medical bills and the ongoing costs of at-home care as Finch recovers from her multiple surgeries.
