6. As many may have noted here on DU, I have a lot of empathy for Luigi

Yesterday

as someone who has chronic illness (rheumatoid arthritis), and ups & downs with UHC - the company in question. But I will not support someone financially who comes from a family of his wealth. His parents have plenty of money to help him with his legal and/or psych issues.

I did give to a go-fund-me this week, though. There is a guy back home, friend from high school, who has a kid with medical bills right now. It is a family crisis for them, and they don't have the funds for what they are dealing with out of the blue. I don't even know if they have health insurance, but I think they probably do from employment, because they were only asking for $2500. That is more likely time off work to deal with healing, co-pays, back & forth for doctor's visits, etc. I gave what I could afford because I know they are hurting.
