9 year old sells toys for fathers gravestone

http://www.geekosystem.com/boy-sell-...dstone-father/

Quote:
Blake’s father, Rick Lees, died of an unexpected stomach aneurysm in March 2009 and when the estates were settled, the family didn’t have enough money to cover the headstone, having to bury Lees in an unmarked grave. Blake regularly visits his dad’s plot, leaving his own toys and mementos at the grave.

It was on the news last 2 weeks or so.

Ever since that, there has been a pretty big support for this family. His tombstone is covered by someone anon. guy and something about his family getting some monetary support as well
