One Rose for Michael...A Childhood of Hope For Others

As our motto proudly states, one voice, one heart, one love...we are one rose for Michael J. Jackson. Truer words were never spoken as we enter our fourth year of sending a sea of lovely red roses to Michael at Forest Lawn to honor him on the day of his passing.

Fans from around the globe are able to send a small token to say what they would say if we could have the privilege of visiting our fallen idol's place of resting.

"You are missed and you are loved, Michael."

Last year, hearts were put on the line and we were able to send over 10,000 gorgeous, long-stemmed, freedom roses to our beloved, but what few may know is that on June 26th, Michael's legacy was further honored.

The following day, after celebrating Michael's life on June 25th, our wonderful OneRose4MJJ team took several buckets of the roses sent to honor Michael and placed them in various places including a homeless women's shelter and a seniors home to brighten up the day with their beauty.

Roses were also placed in Lullaby and Baby Land to honor all the Lost Children of Forest Lawn.

This year, Michael's humanitarian legacy is being even further honored via OneRose4MJJ's gesture of roses by our greatest and most respected advocates among the MJ fan community.

For every 1,000 roses purchased by fans, MJJJustice Project, Stop Global Airwave Abuse, Michael Jackson Fans of Montreal, and MJ Fans of NY have decided to pledge to the three selected charities OneRose4MJJ supports year round: UNICEF, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, and the American Vitiligo Research Foundation. Taking One Rose for Michael and using it to pay it forward and provide a childhood of hope for those in need.

We encourage anybody, group or individual who would like to join in this major gesture of paying it forward to visit MJJJustice Project's page for further details: With a Child's Heart 2013-Tribute to Michael Jackson.

Updated: 4/25/20013: Another pledge has been made by yet another loving, fellow MJ fan. Please welcome Debbii Longshaw.

Thank you to the wonderful group of ladies who inspired this tribute and who continue to inspire others to join.
