Eric de la Cruz and his sister Veronica. Veronica is using social networking websites to raise money for a heart transplant for her brother.
Eric de la Cruz needs a heart transplant. In his home state of Nevada, there are no doctors who perform the surgery that de la Cruz needs, and he’s unable to look out-of-state due to insurance restrictions.
Cruz’s sister, former CNN anchor Veronica de la Cruz, has been milking social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook like crazy over the last several weeks to raise money for her brother’s operation—and she’s gotten some help from some notable celebrities.
Trent Reznor, frontman of industrial rockers Nine Inch Nails, has taken up the cause and raised over $850,000 thanks to his 589,986 twitter followers.
