We discussed some charity initiatives at a company wide town hall meeting today. One fact really stuck with me: 1 out of 10 NYC kids will be in a shelter at some point this year.

I am a big pokemon fan. It brought me a ton of joy as a kid, and it doesn’t sit right with me that there are pokemon fans out there that can’t experience the same happiness I did.

I currently collect Pokemon cards, and I want to help out any struggling parents of pokemon fans for the holidays.

If your child is a pokemon fan and the holiday budget is tight, I want to help. Please leave a comment or send me a message. I will help as many families as I can.

If this doesn’t work out, I’m going to go with a toy drive, but i’d rather try and find kids who are especially passionate about pokemon first.

Edit: haven’t gotten a lot of traction. I understand that many struggling parents wont be on this sub, so any suggestions as to where I should direct my efforts are greatly appreciated

Good. Plenty of. Cars today got towed

Small one; nothing major.

If you left your keys in a citibike basket at a midtown dock, the front desk by the dock has them. The keys have a Notre Dame(?) thing attached to them. Found as I was heading out for lunch and figured that the owner had better chances if I didn’t leave them in the basket.

I left a note by the dock, but thought I’d post here too
