I coordinate donations at Lotus Refugee Centre in Brooklyn. 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 Brooklyn, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Refugee Centre on Monday between 10am 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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Hamilton
hang in there, Crystal. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nuremberg.
Hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Istanbul.
