I coordinate donations at Sycamore Women's Shelter in Negombo. 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 Negombo, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Sycamore Women's Shelter on Wednesday 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 Sycamore Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Gihan. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Wishing you peace. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Caxias do Sul.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
