I'm in for 4 tickets. Brandon is a great guy, he painted a stock for me a few month ago...we talked several times and he always had time for me or returned my calls promptly...God bless you and your family, prayers coming for continued recovery. I can vouch for his work, it's fantastic, you won't find better or a better person to give your business to.

No joke! I'm down for letting this thing ride until you get a couple weeks of no new entries! Anything that will help out!
This is Branden's (AKA: Shortbus) wife Nicole. Words can not describe how astonished I was to hear of a raffle going on in my honor. It's truly humbling and amazing how people from different worlds (cause I'm not in this "gun" world 
can care for each other and help when it's needed most. As most of you know, this was a true WAKE UP CALLING for me and for my family. I'm only 33 and to have endured this pain and suffering, well, it makes you think about a few things. And YES, after a few days, I had a strong feeling from within that I AM A MIRACLE.
I won't go into many details, but I am doing good. I experience vertigo everyday, but the level of vertigo varies. It may not bother me, or it could make me stop and rest. I never know when it comes and goes - some activity makes it worse but some doesn't. It's just weird. I like to say I've come to terms with it. I know I will always have it. I know there may be a day, I might have another stroke. I can't let it take over my life; I tell myself everyone morning "here I go".
So, I want to thank EVERYONE, first, for their prayers, and second, for your generosity. I know that when you tell others what you did for us, they will remember and most likely do the same for someone else. That, too, makes me feel blessed to have friends like you. I'm sure I speak for my family when I say Thank You so much. You and your family will be in my daily prayers.

Branden - I live in Kansas City. I would be happy to help you out however you need, whether it is mowing the yard or if you need food for everyone delivered. Please PM me or you may email me at [email protected] and let me know. Don't be shy about it, I would be happy to help. I can't imagine going through this and having to ship the two kiddos all over while trying to keep life as normal as possible for them. I keep a hectic schedule but I am more than happy to help.
EDIT: I didn't realize this thread was 5 pages long (and a couple of months long) when I posted this. I don't know what kind of help you all might need, but the offer still stands. Just let me know

Thank you everybody for the kind words and for helping me keep this going. I have had a few people contact my saying they never revived a confirmation email after they sent PayPal. I apologize for any mix up. I have replied to everybody that has sent PayPal. As PayPal and checks come in I have been putting everybody down on a list, that way before the raffle I can double check to make sure I didn't miss anyone. If anyone has not received confirmation for raffle tickets please feel free to contact me via PM or email @ [email protected]. Please give me a little time to respond. I work full time and have 3 kids.
Thank you
Thank you
I would like to thank all of you gentlemen and ladies who have bought tickets for Branden's family. I have long admired his work. Hopefully, this gesture on all of our parts will be measured in more than just a monetary way. I own several rifles Mark has built and whoever wins this weapon will have many hours of fun shooting from a fine work of art. Let the best man or woman win, or should I say the luckiest.

I'm glad you are doing better. Recovery from a stroke is a journey. Be patient and things will get better.

If I ever meet you in person, a drink or dinner is on me!
What you did was beyond comprehensible and greatly appreciated.
In for 2 tickets. Mrs. Shortbus, it's great to hear that you're making a steady recovery! My prayers are with you and your family during this tough time. Your ability to keep pushing every day is inspirational to all of us!
I'd like to buy 6 tickets, please. Can you PM me with an address and info for POMO, as I'm a dinosaur, and don't "trust" paypal ; I.E....putting my credit card info on the web, for some hacker to find. Best wishes, for a quick recovery.
