Donate a coat: Fernando is collecting for 21 families
A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at Acacia Refugee Centre.
🇺🇸 Springfield, Massachusetts, United States1,028 views
I coordinate donations at Acacia Refugee Centre in Springfield. 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 kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Springfield, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Refugee Centre on Saturday 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 Acacia Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
You're not alone, Fernando. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from New Delhi.
You're not alone, Fernando. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
