I coordinate donations at the Baobab Family Centre in Ciudad de México. 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 toddler through teen. If you're in Ciudad de México, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Family Centre on Sunday between 11am and 4pm. 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. I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

              Take care. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Lagos.

              • Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Ciudad de México.

                • Thinking of you and your family. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes

                  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Mansoura so I could bring a meal!

                    • Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

                      • Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in San Miguel de Tucumán this morning. Blessings.

                        • Keep going, Pablo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless

                          • Thinking of you and your family, Pablo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
