These stone hearts are a symbol of love for my son Josh who passed away in August 2016 after a long, hard fought battle with Substance Abuse Disorder.
I wanted to create something that would honor his life and at the same time help others struggling with this illness which is why all proceeds will be donated to PAARI. (Police Assisted Addiction & Recovery Initiative)*
I chose the symbol of a heart to represent all the love lost to this disease as well as the hope we as families hold out for our loved one's recovery.
Please enjoy these lovingly hand-made stones and know that through your purchase, you too, are making a difference in this fight.
Thank you for your support.

* In Josh's memory, we have chosen to donate all proceeds to the organization PAARI (Police Assisted Abuse and Recovery Initiative). They are a nation wide, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Gloucester Police Initiative and are at the forefront of the effort to help the most vulnerable in the opioid epidemic that so many of us have been effected by.
