Gifts

We have been to enough weddings that we know the conversation must come up.  We want you to know that it is not expected, and we can't wait to just see you all. We have been very blessed to have such supportive families, health, and love. We will also be calling New York City home for the near future. The apartment will be modest (tiny) and storage is not really an option. So.... we have decided that instead of a traditional registry, we would ask you might consider one of these 3 options.

1) A CHARITY

Hiawatha Homes: http://www.hiawathahomes.org/make-a-gift.html
Paul David, Sara's brother, lived in a Hiawatha supported home for many years. Both of Sara's parents were very active with the organization and their mission. Hiawatha provides a nurturing, active, and supported lifestyle for people with special needs and was so important in Paul's life.

NAMI: https://www.nami.org/template.cfm?section=Donate&template=/customsource/Donation/GeneralForm.cfm
National Alliance on Mental Illness. We have both been touched by the effects of mental illness. We feel that it is a highly worthy cause, and NAMI is an organization that reaches out to an often quieted voice.

2) A GIFT CARD

We feel that we are having a bit of a destination wedding. We both will be flying home to New York, and bringing along items will be difficult. We will have 1 closet, 2 cupboards, and half a trunk. We would ask that gift cards be considered as another option as we can gather the supplies for our new home here in New York.
Two places that we love: Target and Macy's

3) A HONEYMOON REGISTRY

We are going to spend a wonderful week in Maui after our wedding celebrating our union. We can't wait! If you would like to contribute to our week go to: http://www.travelersjoy.com/mikesarawedding
