I coordinate donations at the Baobab Community Church in Mekelle. 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 Mekelle, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Community Church on Thursday between 10am 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 Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Glad we found this place.

  • Wishing you the best, Yared. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Sรฃo Paulo.

    • rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Greetings from San Francisco

      • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!

        • Thinking of you, Yared. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal.
