I coordinate donations at the Sycamore Community Church in Pretoria. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled. We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Pretoria, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Sycamore Community Church on Wednesday between 9am and 2pm. If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate. Items go to families directly and the rest to the the Sycamore Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thank you so much.

    stay strong, Hendrik. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.

          Thinking of you and your family, Hendrik. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Bogotá this morning. Love from Bogotá.

            So sorry you're going through this, Hendrik. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
