In July, the news of Erica Owen's death shook Owensboro. Her aunt, Martina Greer Billings put the word out about a month ago she would be collecting plastic lids/caps to create two memorial benches for domestic violence in Erica's honor. We accepted donations at the radio station. Wow, is all I have to say. 

I talked with Martina as she made her last pick-up at the station this weekend.

Simply unbelievable you all! As soon as we know when the lid/cap sorting will take place, we'll pass that along...and Martina told me the first bench could be in place as early as the middle of October.

And yes, if you still want to donate your lids, caps, help the fund the benches, you can message Martina on Facebook. Thank you again everyone!

From Martina:
