GoFundMe Launched for Matt Pinfield to Help with Medical Bills


Matt Pinfield, the iconic rock music personality and former MTV veejay of 120 Minutes had a fundraiser launched for him on GoFundMe on Monday (May 11). Organized by a friend of the TV and radio icon, the crowdfunding campaign seeks to raise funds for medical bills stemming from physical and mental ailments plaguing the entertainer. As of early today (May 13), the crowdfunding effort has brought in over $27,000 of its stated $50,000 goal. Pinfield was hospitalized in Los Angeles after getting hit by a car, which resulted in major injuries, as Billboard reported at the time. Since then, the entertainer has struggled with his health and the ensuing medical bills. That’s why his friend Chris Trovero organized the fundraiser for Pinfield. In addition to MTV, he’s also worked as a DJ for Sirius XM’s Lithium and hosted the 2 Hours With Matt Pinfield podcast. Taking to his Twitter account, Pinfield expressed his gratitude after the initial contributions began pouring in.

Trovero continues, “Unfortunately, in the United States, not all health treatment is covered by insurance. That’s where you can come in. If you can make a contribution to his recovery, that’s one way to help. … Another way you can help is to share this link because it helps spread the word.”
