Not sure if it’s ok to post this here, but this kid was one of the victims at the Florida school shooting. Apparently he was a big time Rockets fan, so thought it would be good to share this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...the-parkland-shooting/?utm_term=.88ff4423713f
Agreed. If someone starts up a gofundme or something in a separate thread we can raise the funds by the end of the day. Our subreddit would help as well.
This is going to come off wrong but I don't want these type of posts in the GARM. Should be hangout or d&d if necessary. Sorry to be THAT person but Rockets are my love and my escape from reality. Flame away!
i'm in and willing to donate. should i try to get the ball rolling on this? how much money do you think we need?
http://store.nba.com/Houston_Rocket...ike_Red_Swingman_Custom_Jersey_-_Icon_Edition Here is the Icon edition jersey. The price is $149.99 if we get 20+ people to donate we should be able to get to this total easily.
If we are really doing this, what number should we put on his jersey? My suggestion would be 25, as he was admitted in West Point in '25 class.
I don't know if this is a great idea, but if there is a way to reach out to his family we can ask them what his favorite number was. Maybe there's old photos of him wearing a baseball uniform of his favorite number or something.
Maybe someone within the organization will see this, and get a real jersey made up with his name on it. Maybe someone can pass it along.
I was thinking about it as well. We got people here that has open doors to the organization, or even @Clutch has that shiny media badge I will stop overposting here, I really think we should do it. I just can´t take the initiative because in live in Brazil. Other than that, count me in in suggestions and my donation.
