I coordinate donations at Unity Women's Shelter in Laredo. 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 Laredo, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Unity Women's Shelter on Friday between 9am 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 Unity Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Laredo.
Wishing you the best, Carmen. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
Good luck, Carmen. Hope you get there.

Hope things get better soon, Carmen. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out.
