The tree outside Little Saints Academy in St. Joseph is covered in white.
Amy Bonfig, owner of Little Saints, has invited the community to place a ribbon and message on Jacob’s Tree of Hope.
“Take a moment to come to Jacob’s Tree of Hope over the next few days and place a ribbon on his tree,” Bonfig said. “I put ribbons out and a message jar for you to leave a note for Jacob’s family.”
Ribbons and paper will be available to the public through Saturday, Sept. 17.
Little Saints Academy is located at 124 First Ave. SE, St. Joseph.
Little Saints Director Amy Bonfig set up a table with ribbons, paper and pens outside the daycare so everyone can have a chance to write their sentiments to both Jacob and the Wetterling family. A bouquet of roses, left by an anonymous individual, also adorns the table. The table will be up through Sept. 17.
The Tree of Hhope has already been adorned with many white ribbons as people show their love for Jacob. Ribbons will be available until Saturday, Sept. 17.
