Help A fellow paintballers family!

Dec 302009

was born two months premature on November 9, 2009, weighing in at just 2 lbs 12 ounces. He is the son of Brian and Kelly Russell. Most paintballers around the world know Brian as “MOATI.” He has been in the paintball industry for years—first with Cops911 and then Special Ops Paintball. robert_andrew_russell_1

Just a couple weeks before Robert came into the world early, Brian’s employer, Tiger Stripe Paintball (doing business as Special Ops Paintball), laid all employees off and closed its doors. Brian was able to secure the name of Special Ops Paintball for himself and carry on the Special Ops Paintball soft goods line of products. However, the company’s medical insurance ended with the closing of Tiger Stripe Paintball. robert_andrew_russell_2

All of the care that has gone into keeping little Robert in this world has a price and it is adding up by the thousands of dollars every day. He is still in the hospital, and Brian and Kelley don’t know when they will be taking him home.

If you can spare a few dollars, Brian and Kelly would really appreciate any help that will get them through this ordeal. You can donate any dollar amount by clicking one of the donate buttons.

The button will take you to a PayPal transaction process for your donation, but you do not need a PayPal account or to go through the PayPal transaction process if you would rather use your credit card directly.
