Normally I would post this in the for sale section but it is for a very very good cause and I am looking to expose it to as many people as possible to help Isaiah and his father out.

This week's army is a Sisters of Battle army and it is for sale on Ebay. 100% of it goes directly to the father to help pay for medical and travel bills. To read more and see more pictures please check out the auction:

Isaiah is a 3rd grade student at Spring Hill Intermediate School. He has recently returned home after receiving a transplant for his liver, pancreas, and small bowel. This is the second transplant Isaiah and his family have gone through. He received an initial transplant in March of 2007 for just small bowel. This eventually failed and had to be removed in March of 2009. Over the next six to nine months, he will be required to travel back and forth from home to Omaha, NE. This also requires the travel of at least one parent and takes considerable time away from work and home as the family is responsible for 100% of his daily cares.

ALL profit from this auction goes directly to his parents to pay for mounting medical and travel bills. Isaiah's dad contacted me and asked me to paint and sell some sisters of his to get the money back out of them in their time of need. It was such a touching story there was no other option but to go all out! A BIG thank you to Nick Rose at Bell of Lost Souls (belloflostsouls.com) for donating some MUCH needed sisters. Our list was pretty skimpy before he came along!

Ah,man. I'd love to do something like this. I'd totally buy it in a couple seconds if I had the money.

Good luck! I hope it fetches a hefty sum!

**combatmedic**

Very cool of you to do this man.

Good luck!

**catharsix**

looks like a great cause! if i may make a small suggestion perhaps? maybe post on the eBay auction the price you'd have to pay just for the models themselves. that's several hundreds fight there i assume (i didn't do the math though)

wish i could help, but i can't buy even the most amateurishly painted army. hope someone pays a good price for this and it helps the family!

**grey_death**

Really fantastic work for a really great cause. I've set a post to go live in the morning promoting the auction on The Painting Corps. It's the least I can do to help out!

**GMMStudios**

Thanks a lot guys! The support means a lot and they appreciate it too.

**Ahtman**

This kind of thing pops up every now and then (charity, not the specific issue) and I am always amazed and humbled by the good will of the gaming community. Good luck with the auction and best wishes to the family.

**GMMStudios**

Thank you!

Yeah we all bicker but also support each other just like a big family.

**Father Gabe**

Already passed this on to my gaming store that dont frequent this site and posted it on the store msg board. We have a couple sob fanatics.

**Ivellos**

I wish this had been posted about a month ago. I had my SoB army stolen and this would have made an amazing replacement. Good luck and best wishes!

**Mick A**

Good luck with the auction, thats one cool little dude!

What a wonderful way to help this family out.

**Just Dave**

Wow! The army and cause both look extremely worthwhile! I have no-where near enough money for such a thing, but yeah, you should be proud and good luck.

I'm gonna sig the link to help as much I as I personally can.

**camboyaz**

Seems to be pulling in a hefty sum so far. Hope that number gets higher. Wish I could throw in, but life will not allow it at this time. Best of luck and thank you for doing something so noble.

**Matthias**

This is fantastic.

Massive respect to GMMStudios and all involved.
