🔔🌊🐾 The Children’s Bell Tower — A Moving Memorial in Bodega Bay, CA

Simba 🐾 and I visited the Children’s Bell Tower in Bodega Bay, California — a powerful and emotional memorial created to honor Nicholas Green, a young boy whose tragic death abroad sparked international attention and helped inspire a movement of organ donation awareness.

This peaceful tower is adorned with over 140 bells gifted from families, schools, organizations, and countries around the world. Many came directly from Italy — where Nicholas’ organs were donated — and each one symbolizes unity, compassion, and the gift of life. Today, the tower stands as a reminder that hope can grow even from heartbreak.

Set against coastal hills, drifting fog, and salty Pacific air, this memorial offers visitors a quiet space to reflect, listen to the subtle ringing of bells in the wind, and appreciate the healing power of community.
