Are you contacting news stations? What about the people involved with the Occupy movement who liked your speech?
Alright, guys. Another update: My private insurance hits its yearly limit, for 2011, in mid-November, so all the services that the nursing care company provided were not paid for. We owe them $20,000 and we have a meeting with them tomorrow to try and figure this out. What they want to do is borrow hours from Medi-CAL to pay for that time period. However, that would leave me very little hours to use right now. I hate doing this, but I am going to have to start taking donations. The nursing provider basically said "pay us, or we will cut your hours", so, it is pretty dire. We're gonna try and do some kind of payment plan with them, but, they're dicks, so I am not sure how helpful it will be. My Paypal account is: raulecarranza@gmail.com. I know Paypal is not the best way to do this, but, it will have to do for now. I will give you an update tomorrow after the meeting. Thanks for all the help you've given me. Raul
Guys if we can raise money for a bunch of tall dudes to play volleyball, I think we can do hotwheelz a solid.
Okay really good news. They aren't dicks. They wrote off 15k because they understand the situation. The remainder of that is 8.4k and they put us on a 6 month payment plan. I've already got over $150 from you guys. Every dollar helps guys.
Okay so here's what's going on: With the help of some awesome people, we've launched a website for the cause http://raulcarranza.org/. On there you'll find information about our rally next week. You'll also find flyers, videos etc.. We're putting out a press release next week. I'm using the donations to pay the nursing company this month. Ummm... I think that covers it.
The revolution will be televised, sort of. You can all check out the protest live tomorrow at noon over at <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ustream.tv/channel/occupysandiego" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.ustream.tv/channel/occupysandiego</a>
Funny thing about that, my fucking talking computer didn't want to work so that's why my nurse had to read it. We're actually doing a fundraiser on the 18th. My hope is to raise enough money so we can buy at least one more month of nursing care after my insurance runs out in March-ish. Just to give me more time to get my case overturned. So if anyone has any kind of art that you'd be interested in donating so we can auction it off or if you know any performers that might be interested please send me a pm. The venue holds about 300 people so it's a great opportunity. Thanks, Raul

Dude. That's great news. The article indicates that these cuts caused you to drop out of UCLA. Does this mean you'll be able to re-enroll?
To be clear, this only prevented more cuts. It didn't fix anything, it just prevented shit from getting worse.
