I coordinate donations at the Lotus Community Church in Philadelphia. 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 Philadelphia, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Community Church on Tuesday between 11am 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 Lotus Community Church 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.

      Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update

      • Dustin S. Hopkins

        Thanks for sharing this, Liam. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Blessings

        • Dagmawit Mulu Eshetu

          good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Amsterdam.

          • Tiago Henrique Rocha

            So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Epe.

            • Tolga Kemal Can

              Hang in there, Liam. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Guarulhos.

              • Colton McBride

                a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Pittsburgh this morning. Greetings from Pittsburgh.

                • Alexander Sergei Tkachenko

                  good luck, Liam. Shared it with a few friends. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

                  • Priya Maliha Kabir

                    So sorry you're going through this, Liam. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best.

                      You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

                      • Dumisani N. Chetty

                        rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal. All the best
