They put out an SOS for toys for migrant kids. Thousands responded.

... People in D.C., Maryland and Virginia started looking through their homes and gathering the toys their children and grandchildren no longer used....

They brought so many items to one church that bulging bags and boxes lined the side of the building. At another church, the items filled four rooms.

... People outside of the region also got involved. One young woman who moved out of state called her parents who still live in the area and asked them to go into her childhood bedroom and donate an old toy of hers....

So many toys were left over from the giveaway that community leaders were able to fill cars and trucks with them to take to families who couldn't make it that day. They spent the past week delivering them. They even had enough to send some to Senegal and Guatemala, turning the local gift-giving effort into an international one....

A marathon runner gave up a shot at breaking her personal record to veer off course and save a tiny kitten


So Bohan nuzzled the kitten, which she estimated weighed less than a pound, into her chest and set off to find a kind bystander who would offer the cat a loving home. Along the way, she crossed paths with fellow animal lover and marathon runner Gia Nigro, who joined Bohan in searching for a kitty caretaker.

About a mile down the course, Bohan and Nigro found a race spectator who promised to keep their new friend. Bohan handed over the cat, and the duo ran the final few miles side-by-side. They even slowed their pace again — this time to help carry an injured German runner across the finish line.
