Just when I thought this week couldn't get any better, it was reported that Chi Cheng, bassist for the Deftones, has finally been released from ICU where he has been in a coma since November after a tragic car accident—and his symptoms only continue to improve. Chi is a supporter of peta2, a lover of animals, and a beautiful person all-around. We wish Chi and his family the best, and we're hoping for a speedy recovery!

As you may have read in a previous blog, Chi's close family and friends have set up a website to collect donations and give reports on his progress: One Love For Chi.

While Chi has been released from ICU and his progress continues to improve, his medical bills and treatment are still very expensive, and his family members who run One Love For Chi are thousands of dollars short of their goal. To help raise funds to cover these expenses, we are doing a promotion through May 29th where 20% of all sales from the "Happy Families not Happy Meals" t-shirt designed by Chi will be donated to the One Love For Chi foundation.



Purchasing this shirt spreads a positive message for animals, shows off Chi's unique design, and helps a great friend. You can purchase the shirt here: "Happy Families Not Happy Meals"

Please continue to keep our friend Chi in your thoughts!

Ever since the accident, Chi has been in a coma—yet improving more by the day.
