@VeronicaDLCruz is openly soliciting help for a good cause: to help save her brother's life.

I'm not 100% sure why she needs our help, what the government can or would do to help, or why she's chosen Twitter as her mode. I know there's something about Medicaid disability, and my advice to her on that would be hire one of the many competent service providers that do this all the time. They usually take a cut of back payments as their compensation. I know a guy in my home town that does this and has a much higher success rate than anyone doing it on their own because it's their field of expertise. They know the right strings to pull, how hard, and when. People outside the bureaucratic structure are easily lost.

I'd encourage Veronica, and anyone else attempting a similar campaign, to do the following which will virtually guarantee more online success:

1. Create a single, simple URL/site with the whole story, in text so I can easily read, copy, paste, or share along with pictures.
2. Create a video, because people love videos. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it does need to contain the details of the story and the major players.
3. Create hyperlinks to other related information pages NOT links in images/pics that I can't click on.
4. Create a simple mailing list to update those interested, and/or a blog (preferably same web address as 1).
5. Create a blog banner/ad and make it easy for folks to add it to their personal blogs.

I wish Veronica luck, and I hope she applies this free advice.

Read her story, and give her cause consideration.
