I'm going to find their location in Boston and donate<br /><br />"Margaret Borden: FYI there is a great organization called Room To Grow that provides support for at-risk families with children under 3 (and/or pregnant mothers). You can donate toys, clothes, even strollers and they have locations in NYC and Boston.

One of the many things that is so wonderful about children is that they remind us to take joy in the simple pleasures of life. Sharing with them makes the simple pleasures even more precious because, as adults, we do know that bad things happen, and we've experienced pain and fear, but we still choose to enjoy the marvel of bugs or birds about their business, or the way puddles splash, or the joy of a raspberry eaten just after being plucked off the bush. Their joy is contagious; it invites us back to a more gentle perspective of the world. <br /><br />I'm rambling. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. <br /><br />ColleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
