Eric De La Cruz, age 27, who resides in Nevada, is in dire need of a heart transplant. He is dying. His sister, Veronica De La Cruz, a former CNN anchor, is doing all she can to help her brother. However, she is caught in the red-tape system in Nevada. He needs Medicare Disability.

Eric has been turned down for the heart transplant list because he is on Nevada Medicaid, and there are no transplant centers in Nevada. He needs to get to California under the Medicare Disability program. He has been rejected twice and the next appeals hearing is in one year. Eric has Severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy with an EF of 15%. His kidneys are having trouble because of his heart. His creatinine levels are high, his blood pressure is very low and he keeps retaining fluid.

$150,000 is needed to get Eric on a transplant list, and the transplant is projected to cost nearly $800,000.

  • Could you give an update on Eric?

  • @BloodNinjaTaro

    fuck off idiot

  • i have met several reiki masters, it did not help me...i also studied reiki myself, so as to know as much as i could find about it...it was useless...perhaps there are some who master reiki, but are given the gift of doing, and do not take payments...problem is, in a greedy world, it takes away the ability to heal...

  • Keep your hope up. We all love you Eric. I'll make my way to see you soon.

  • Best luck to the young man. Hopefully, he'll get the help he needs to get back to a normal life soon. There is so much red tape and bureacracy in the health care system. The whole system of big pharma, the AMA, hospitals & their CEO's, insurance and their actuaries who don't know medicine are all in charge. Something has to change for the better soon.

    This should never happen in one of the world's most richest countries.

  • all us on twitter are helping you along

  • Posted to facebook and twitter.

    Wishing you so much more than just Good luck

    Hang in there, people all around the world are rooting for you. xxx

  • I want a Reiki Master in there as soon as possible. No excuses. You want to help him, get in contact with a Reiki Master.

  • Hang in there, Eric. You have lots of support around the world!
