Help Coach Russ’ family, victims in PDX shooting
Coach Russell Millage could have never imagined that when his brother Masico “Mase” Laveral Walker Jr (Father of 5) took his cousin Tyrell Nathaniel Penney (father of 3 and visiting from California,) out that early evening, that his brother would be fighting for his life in the hospital while his cousin lay dead from gunshot wounds.
The last few days have been a horrific nightmare of our beloved Grant High School Football and Basketball Coach and and his family. Coach Russell's brother was shot multiple times and is fighting for his life and his cousin who was in Portland on vacation from California, who was also shot and killed from a gang shooting. They were outside of a bar in Portland Oregon. This tragic loss of their cousin has been a such a huge loss and the funeral expenses along with Mases medical expenses, possible rehabilitation costs along with taking care of their children will be a major financial burden on the family. At this time Mase Jr. will most likely not be making a full recovery
With so much tragedy in the world going on this is a small way to lighten their pain so they don’t have to think about costs. We know so many will want to help Mase Jr., Coach Russell’s and Tyrells family, in someway. This is one of the reasons Russell has worked with the youth for so long and been so committed to making changes that will halt these senseless acts of violence that he has seen happening in his life. Please consider supporting these families and their children in any small way that you can. Their Mothers Jacita and Tonya both thank you from the bottom of their hearts for considering helping their families through this.
