I coordinate donations at the Baobab Family Centre in Naples. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Naples, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Family Centre on Friday between 10am and 3pm. 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 Baobab Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Glad we found this place.

  • Best of luck, Sara. Hope you get there.

    • Stay strong, Sara. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Nuremberg.

      • Looking forward to the next update. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.

        • Take care, Sara. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Kingston

                  I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Ankara so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Duisburg.

                  • Take care, Sara. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dammam.

                    • Thinking of you, Sara. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Naples.

                          Keep going, Sara. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Naples.

                          • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

                            • Hang in there, Sara. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best!

                              • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                                  • stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Grenoble

                                    • Hope it all works out, Sara. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

                                      • Sending good thoughts, Sara. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.

                                        • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. Blessings.

                                          • Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
