GREENVILLE, SC — Strangers worked together to replace a Christmas tree stolen from a little boy’s grave in Greenville, South Carolina.
The eight-year-old’s parents say it crushed them to see his empty grave site on Monday. Β They bought the original tree because their son, who died in a car crash last month, always loved Christmas. Β People saw their story on the news, and didn’t waste time helping the family out.
“I was shocked,” said family friend Andrea Fowler. Β “That’s what I told my daughter. Β I said, ‘There’s a tree on the grave.’ Β I thought maybe it was somebody had brought it back, but it was a different tree.”
Community members also plan to put up another memorial at the site of the crash.
