Some of the survivors of the Pulse nightclub attack came together Saturday at the Pulse site on South Orange Avenue to show support for the families involved in the deadly Parkland school shooting.

People painted stars of hope and wrote inspiring messages on rocks.

"Personal notes that way we can send to the survivors and to the families and show the bond that we have with them now," said Angel Colon, a Pulse survivor.

Wednesday, the tables were turned, after 17 people were shot and killed after alleged 19-year-old gunman Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Instead of messages being sent to Pulse nightclub survivors, they were the ones writing messages to the South Florida victims.

"We were really appreciative of the support and the love and the letters. I know everything that we got from communities and from all over the world that really helped the healing process," said Colon.

Colon says blood donations saved their lives, so they also had the One Blood Big Red Bus on hand for people to donate.

"They know the important role that blood donation played in helping save their lives and they have become tremendous advocates of blood donation," said Susan Forbes with OneBlood.

"Unfortunately these things keep happening in this world and we have to be united and we have to show the support that we have for each other," said Colon.
