Legendary phreaker John Draper / Captain Crunch needs our help

Hey guys,

I believe a lot of people can relate to the legend, John Draper - Captain Crunch. He's being really ill lately and has undergone multiple surgeries! His insurance is almost gone and they won't cover the cost of post op medication, which ran out a week ago.

Please everyone, let's try to help him! The campaign has been verified by John himself https://twitter.com/jdcrunchman

About John from Wikipedia:

"John Thomas Draper (born 1943), also known as Captain Crunch, Crunch or Crunchman (after Cap'n Crunch, the mascot of a breakfast cereal), is an American computer programmer and former phone phreak. He is a legendary figure within the computer programming world and the hacker and security community. Draper has long maintained a nomadic lifestyle;[1] as of May 2013, he resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.[2]"

It's not much he needs, and it would be wonderful if anyone can help!

Oh man, when I lived in Los Angeles, John used to come to the monthly Santa Monica Django meetups. He even came to a few of the Pyladies events put on by the wonderful Daniel Greenfield and Audrey Greenfield (Roy at the time).

He was a bit surly, but great people, and an inspiration for a generation of phreakers. I started out blue boxing with an acoustic coupler a loooooong time ago.

Nope, his insurance is almost gone. He didn't have much employment all his life, but he is looking for part time job now...
