Rocky's Rockets

Rocky's Rockets Bringing happiness to the world one rocket at a time. Our rockets and events are free of charge. Rocky Jacinto Castro was born and died on 2/4/15.

His family and friends make and give away toy rockets to spread joy through their grief. Rocky's family, friends, and volunteers make simple paper rocket toys to give to children. It takes one straw, two sticky notes, a bit of tape, a dab of glue, and a lot of love to make one Rocky's Rocket. Rocky's Rockets are always given to children free of charge.

We have not done any activities since the pandemic and it has been difficult to keep up with providing support but today we gifted 15 Rocky's Rockets activity gift boxes to 4 different families. This was a great big act of happiness.

Wishing those that struggle a gentle and peaceful holiday season. May your memories and acts of kindness bring you calm and joy.

“The lack of touch and social support—someone wrapping you in their arms and comforting you while you weep—is very significant, because that connection allows us to release many of our emotions,” it is important to find other ways to comfort and engage in behaviors to induce some happiness. Text, write, call, send a gift, provide a meal. So many small gestures that can temporarily take the place of the very much needed hugs.

Here’s what the experts say about how grief impacts the most common mental health conditions, and how to cope with loss during the time of covid-19.

We wish you a peaceful Thanksgiving. May you find solace in your memories and loved ones.
