Free Maternity Shirts & Dresses; Free Baby Clothes
by Martha Riecks 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Hi neighbors! I found more maternity clothes when doing some cleaning & organizing. There's now a bag on my porch that contains 5 maternity tops and two dresses, all size small, all Old Navy or Gap brands. Photo attached. Both of the dresses fit as maternity dresses, but are also designed to fit the first few months postpartum for nursing dresses. Free on the porch at 1125 Winterton St. in a bag from Aerie labeled maternity clothes! I also have a paper shopping bag of assorted baby clothes, size 6, 9 & 12 months, boy gendered, still available. Also free and on the porch. Help yourself (just please take the whole bag, and none of the other crap on the porch as we try to get things sorted out at our house) Thanks!

I need a potty training seat
by David Anglero 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Not for me ;) We are looking to start the potty training process for our little one. Being that we're all stuck in the house right now, we're thinking it's a good time to start. We'd really prefer to find a toilet seat solution for our existing toilets instead of a fake toilet. Ideally we need 2. Daveanglero(a)gmail.com

Hi neighbors, I have a bookcase free for the taking. It has some marks but is otherwise in good used condition. Dimensions are 72” high x 30” wide x 12” deep. It’s been wiped down well with Clorox wipes and I won’t be offended if you wipe it down some more. Pick up at 1166 Jancey Street in Morningside.

Raspberry canes!
by Helen 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Hi neighbors- I’ve done a spring yard cleanup, and I have some lovely and hardy raspberry canes that have already begun to leaf. If you’re in need of a pick-me-up, come take one (just one, please!) at 912 Farragut. No cost, just please pay it forward and email me how you passed goodness onto someone else! I wore gloves when handling the pots and repotting the canes, and we are symptom free and strict about the self isolation. Nonetheless, do what you must to feel confident and safe when picking up your new yard buddy! Sent from my iPhone

Please keep social distancing while walking outside. A call to buy time from coronavirus
by Saenz Robles, Maria T 22 Mar '20

22 Mar '20

Dear HParkers, I know that we all are tired of being home, that we need to take the kids out and walk the dog... Yes, of course. But please keep using common sense and maintain more than 6 feet from everyone else! There are too many people -and too close together- especially around the park entrance and the reservoir. This is NOT a drill. This is a pandemic. We shoudln't be walking in big groups, we shouldn't be enjoying the sun sitting next to several people. And yes, it is no fun. We have to stop the spread of coronavirus. WE ARE NOT READY to cope with a massive infection of the population, we don't have enough medical equipment, masks, gloves, respirators, hospital beds, you name it. Even if we are healthy and strong and young and the virus might not affect us that much, we don't want to infect the most vulnerable people (think older parents, grandparents, anyone with a chronic condition). Imagine if, instead of being locked up for two weeks we have to be locked up for several months because we fail to prevent the spread of the virus. What will that do to our lifes, our kids, our economy? It is going to be bad enough, lets try to make it as easier as it can be. Try going for your walk at different times, try going out earlier, or try roads with fewer people or side streets...After all, we have pretty flexible schedules right now, don't we? This is a wonderful community and I know we are not the only ones to use the park, but if we keep ignoring the call to social distance we will only force the authorities to close the parks and to monitor everyone outside in the streets, as it is already happening in Italy and Spain (and likely soon in NY). Lets get through this together. Enjoy as much as you can but be safe, please. Thanks! Mayte Sáenz
