  1. I hope you are not sick of hearing about this yet because I am far from done talking about it.We almost met our goal, just TWENTY FOUR FREAKING HOURS after launching. That is beyond awesome. So we upped our goal so we can bring happiness to even more families. We also got about 400 dollars in donations which we wil use to buy iTunes cards to give to teenage kids because there are just not a lot of toy choices for them. We have some great things in the works, including establishing a partnership with the Patch newspapers to help distribute the presents and we’ll give more details on that when they are finalized. And so many people - including a Girl Scout troop - volunteering to help wrap the gifts.  I am really so excited about this. And overwhelmed at the generosity I am witnessing. People are good. Damn good.
