I coordinate donations at Jacaranda Refugee Centre in Dar es Salaam. 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 Dar es Salaam, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Jacaranda Refugee Centre on Thursday between 11am 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 Jacaranda Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I hope life is good to you.

        Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

          Thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Mar del Plata.

            Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.

                    Sending strength, Daniel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
