On April 15th the Richard Family’s lives were forever altered. 8-year-old Martin was killed by the explosions at the marathon and his younger sister and mother were very badly injured. Bill Richard is a long time board member of St. Marks Area Main Street a the former board chair. As a Main Streets organization our heart goes out to the Richard Family and we want to help them in anyway we can. Please consider donating to their fund, which will help pay for funeral services for Martin and medical expenses for his family. Please share this with others. We are so proud to be part of this wonderful community and the greater community of Boston. Let’s show our caring for St. Mark’s as well. You can make a donation at richardfamilyfund.org
