Emine is collecting new or gently used winter clothing for children at the Maple Mosque in Üsküdar.

I coordinate donations at the Maple Mosque in Üsküdar. 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 Üsküdar, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Maple Mosque on Tuesday 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 the Maple Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
thinking of you, Emine. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Good luck, Emine. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Red Deer
Good luck, Emine. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Fort Worth.
hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless
Thanks for sharing this, Emine. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Jessore
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Rooting for you, Emine. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Thủ Đức but we're thinking of you
Best of luck. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Üsküdar
Thanks for sharing this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Los Angeles so I could bring a meal.
So sorry you're going through this, Emine. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Emine. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope things get better soon, Emine. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
