Before we get to today’s Marathons+Moderation post, which will go up later today, I have to take the chance to say THANK YOU! Due to your generosity, over 116 items have already been purchased from the registry! But, there are still over 100 items left that such as hangers, clothing for the kids, smoke detectors, and more! In addition, Jen and Pedro found a rental on Staten Island for their family late Monday night! Though the move was easy since their largest piece of furniture was an air mattress, it’s still a home.
Thanks to your passion to help Jen and her family this post was shared so much that it was brought to the attention of ABCNews.com! Late yesterday, I was honored to be interviewed by ABCNews.com for a story that is now on their site and their sister site, GMA.com sharing the story of Jen Maccarino-Correa and the Target registry created for them. I’d love your help in making sure this important story doesn’t get lost amongst the political news today! Please share it on your networks so we can help fulfill the entire registry!

Thank you for proving just how amazing the world really is amongst all the negativity that has been shown lately amongst the marathon, Hurricane Sandy and the election craziness.
It’s incredible the massive amount of change that can start in the world from such a small spark.
It’s wonderful that you have used your time and your blog to show your support to your fellow New Yorkers in a really practical way 🙂
Love your blog and this is just one of many reasons why! Jx
Aww thank you so much! I’m just so thankful that this idea came to our head and has worked so well!

I love to see how much the blogging community supports one another, and I’m so happy to see that this has gotten so much traction in the news!
I was running behind but saved your original tweet and just sent my gift – this is such a fantastic idea. It is so awesome of you to start this for Jen and her family!
Absolutely awesome!!! I cannot express how amazing that is! I stumbled upon that news article earlier this week, you should feel so proud of yourself knowing that your idea has turned into a huge success!
