Medina's fiancee Juliana Ramos, to whom he has been engaged since 2007, was involved in a car accident that left the uninsured young woman with brain damage and partial paralysis.  The accident occurred just two weeks before the couple was to be married.  26 year-old Medina says he fell in love with Ramos at first sight eight years ago, and he has stayed by her side since her trauma, acting as a caregiver.

Medina was recently voted off of Idol, but he nonetheless has released a single, and the proceeds given from this weekend's cinematic release should go a long way to helping he and Ramos deal with their medical bills.

Their story has moved many people, who rightly see it as a validation of love and compassion in a cynical age.  So if you want to help out while enjoying a good time at the movies, you know where to go this weekend.

Take Me Home Tonight stars Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, Teresa Palmer, and Chris Pratt.  It hits theaters nationwide Friday, March 4th.
