I coordinate donations at Union Women's Shelter in Karlsruhe. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Karlsruhe, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Union Women's Shelter on Wednesday between 9am and 3pm.
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 Union Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kadıköy.
Wishing you peace, Helene. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Karlsruhe
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
Good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Pittsburgh donated after I showed her your page.

Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
Hang in there. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Saket.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 36 people at work!
Thinking of you, Helene. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Cairo but we're thinking of you. God bless
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
