Twitter might get Eric De La Cruz heart transplant

An anonymous reader writes "Eric De La Cruz needs a heart transplant but can't get insurance because of his preexisting condition. His sister Veronica has been lobbying to get through red tape and save his life:

She has been mobilizing support through Twitter (http://twitter.com/VeronicaDLCruz). Trent Reznor (http://twitter.com/trent_reznor) (Nine Inch Nails) helped to raise nearly $700,000 in just the past week (http://store.nin.com/helperic/) and Tony Hawk has donated signed skateboards (http://twitter.com/tonyhawk/status/1895286051). Amazing story of what is wrong with US Healthcare and power of the internet.

(As of right now I believe Eric is still being refused transport because he doesn't have supplemental insurance, which he can't get because of his preexisting condition--awareness may pressure beurocrats to cut through the red tape and save his life)."

I hope you're not pretending to be evil while secretly being good. That would be dishonest.
