I coordinate donations at Lotus Refugee Centre in Tel Aviv. 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 4-12. If you're in Tel Aviv, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Refugee Centre on Thursday 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 Lotus Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I hope life is good to you.

  • Hope things get better soon, Shira. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
