Hello Fellow Mechwarriors,

My name is Zach (Hulk Krogan), an avid player of Mechwarrior: Online and a member of Clan Snow Wolf, an active community in No Guts, No Galaxy. A very dear friend of ours, Robert Pitre (SrHeavyarm) and absolute die-hard Mechwarrior, has recently become seriously ill. This week, Robert had brain surgery and is in a medically induced coma and being ventilated due to complications with the surgery; he developed a cranial bleed. There is risk of temporary and/or permanent brain damage

Rob is without a doubt the most kind-hearted person any of us have had the pleasure to meet and one heck of Mech pilot to boot. MWO is his most, if not only, played video game. We always tease him, telling him that his ELO is way too high for any of us to drop with. He has never had the funds to make in-game purchases and had nearly every Mech mastered with only 4 Mech Bays. PGI has made a wonderful gesture by donating the complete Masakari Package to his account and helping us bring awareness to his cause. Due to Rob’s medical condition, he is unable to work to support his wife and 4 children. The hospital where Rob is being treated is a two hour drive for his family.

While we are unfathomably grateful for PGI’s donation, Rob’s family needs our help more than anything. His loving wife has already initiated a fundraiser in Rob’s behalf. His family and friends have expressed their love for Rob by making donations (posted on the fundraiser site) to the best of their abilities but Rob needs more help. PLEASE, help our friend Rob and his family. Let’s take it to the next level by making a contribution and going far beyond anything his family ever expected. It doesn’t matter how much. If all 591,000 people registered on this forum donated just $1.00, they would be prepared for anything. Rob still has a long road to recovery ahead of him; help us make it as easy for him as possible.


His fundraiser can be found at: http://www.gofundme.com/atr5vw

Any questions, comments, anything, please feel free to PM me here, come by the Clan Snow Wolf website and post in our forums ( http://www.cswolf.net ), or drop into the Clan Snow Wolf channel on No Guts, No Galaxy TeamSpeak.

At Present, I am unable to make a donation, and for that I am sorry. But I can offer my thoughts and prayers. I do hope to be able to aid Robert's family sometime soon.

Hey thanks for bringing a fellow MechWarrior in need of prayer to light, Hulk.

I'm sure his ELO is much better than mine. ;) LOL

And thanks to you as well, Kjudoon.

Praying for Zach in His mighty name.

In Him,
TW

While many of you may not recognize his name, I am sure that many will recognize his salute from the beginning of every match

All this religion and praying makes me very uncomfortable.

Have some money, Rob, they may actually help.

I hope you recover and can return to having fun and live a good life with your family.

Life is short and sometimes brutal. Cherish and celebrate it.

I have made a donation and will continue to pray for our comrade. Lord willing, I would be honored to be defeated by him in his next match.

Hey, I'm not remotely religious at all, (at ALL), but this thread is absolutely not the place to make an issue of those that are.

If folks want to pray for our fellow mechwarrior, just take it in the spirit it's meant and let them.

Edit - shoulda said this first...

I ain't the praying sort, but the thoughts and well wishes of me and mine are with ya

As a member of Clan Snow Wolf and a friend of SirHeavyarm I just want to say that both prayers and donations are welcome. The more we can spread awareness of him and what he and his family are going through the better and the more support they receive, be it financial, emotional, prayers, or just plain old good wishes the better they will be. Just knowing that they are not alone in this and that they have friends and communities of people pulling for his swift and healthy recovery, that are ready and willing to support them through this tough time takes some of the burden off of their shoulders and allows them to focus on what really matters. Family, friends and health.
