Organizers are looking for painted rocks with messages of love and hope for the family who lost their son last week at L and 6th. Recently someone stole a planter from the family’s front stoop. Soon after, they found a painted rock in its place that simply read “love.”
Instead of a new planter, they thought a special rock garden could be started with message rocks. A basket will be placed in the lobby of the South Boston Health Center on Monday at 10am until Friday, August 3 where painted rocks can be placed for the family.
(Organizers want to stress, the family does not want rocks to be dropped off at their home.Please be respectful.) Thank you!
