Bryan Stow, Dodgers Assault Victim, Still in Critical Condition: Here's How to Help

Update: "Bryan Stow Assault Suspects Arrested: Bald Man With Neck Tattoos, Possible Female Getaway Driver in LAPD Custody, Reports Say."

Today, the L.A. Dodgers play the San Francisco Giants again in NorCal. But what should have been an exciting rematch will be clouded by the critical condition of Bryan Stow.

Stow, a Santa Cruz paramedic and San Francisco Giants fan, was attacked on Opening Day by two Dodgers diehards on a violent rampage in the stadium parking lot. The left side of his skull has been removed to relieve pressure on his brain, and still, the 42-year-old remains in a coma at the County-USC Hospital.

While city politicians and MLB moguls make their contributions to the reward fund for info leading to the arrest of Stow's two attackers -- the pot's currently at $150,000 -- here's your chance to help out his wife and two kids with more personal damages.

Make out all checks to "Bryan Stow Fund":

• There's a drive-thru fundraiser in Dodger Stadium Parking Lot 1 today --
Monday, April 11 -- from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• The Giants will host a similar fundraiser at the gates of AT&T Park, and throughout the San Francisco home game, this evening.
• You can purchase a Livestrong-style "Bryan Stow bracelet" for $5 at this Santa Cruz blog. (All local SC fundraisers are also listed at that link.)
• The San Francisco Police Credit Union is accepting online donations through PayPal or bank transfer.

In response to Stow's beating, both the Dodger Stadium and AT&T Park will be crawling with extra police and security in the near future. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck calls it a "sea of blue" -- and not due to fanwear.

If you're going for the $150,000 reward, here are the suspected Opening Day attackers:

That's awesome that people are donating to the capture of these guys! Wow $150,000 already! Although I must admit I'm a little jealous in a small way because I am a 25 year old female with a 47 year old mom who is dying of cancer and I've been trying 2 get donations where we live (with next to no luck!) so I can continue 2 pay all our bills (I moved her and my lil sister into my small 2 bdrm home because she's too sick and unable 2 work anymore). I've been struggling to support all of us by myself, and i have a son too! I've been keeping everything in order for months and months now, but it just gets harder and harder. My mom's now in critical condition with 2-3 days. I badly need to catch up on bills before I lose the house or utilities get shut off! We dont have much food and need so much for the house. Its nearly impossible to keep up and never-ending! I'm constantly scared and stessed...I'm in DESPERATE need of a knight in shining armor or an angel! I now have to raise my 14 year old sister as well as my 3 year old...and now we will be planning and trying to pay for a funeral! I've never done anything like this before but i have no other family to ask for help and next to no friends (because i work alot and take care of mom) I hope n pray my sad true life story touches someone. I hope to touch you. And if you may be able to help financially i would be the next one touched. This isn't a scam and I can verify the truth of this tragedy with serious inquiries and philanthropists. May God open the minds of the people reading this. Please help a real live struggling 25 year old woman to hold her family together! If anyone wants to donate to another good cause....a family in desperate desperate need, please email me lilwayneswifey4@yahoo.com/jaevaz4@gmail.com THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE FOR A KNIGHT OR AN ANGEL TO SAVE ME...HELP ME HOLD MY FAMILY TOGETHER THROUGH THIS TRAGEDY! I WILL BE FOREVER INDEBTED TO YOU! THANKS AGAIN. GOD BLESS EVERYONE.

That's what happens when you vote for Teabagging scumbags who want all the money to go to politicians and corporations. This is America. We should be able to do it all, but, we ate the only First World nation that bankrupts its citizens because of health care.

I'm glad that his children weren't there when those 2 pieces of LA sh1t beat him up. LA Sh1t has no respect for human life and God only knows what they would've done to his children had they been there.

Mothers, don't let your babies grow up and go to the city which is the biggest sh1thole called LA.

Now is the time for LAPD to catch something other than a breakfast cart. Put these two pieces of Cr$P away for as long as possible. They are a waste of human flesh and oxygen.
