MAX attack that left two people dead and one seriously injured, crafters from around the world and across the country are spreading love with hearts.
About 2,900 handcrafted hearts have been donated from all over the world and will be distributed Monday all over Portland.
Rita Bhatia, a volunteer for the Hollywood Senior Center, started #hearts4PDX. She said her goal is to spread the hearts all over Portland and the world. The campaign is based on a similar effort following the Manchester bombing.
Days after starting the project, Bhatia said she was joined by hundreds who wanted to participate.
“When I started this I was going to be happy if all I got were five hearts,” Bhatia said. “I am blown away by everyone that participated and I appreciate their support for our community.”
