A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at Acacia Refugee Centre.

I coordinate donations at Acacia Refugee Centre in Saint-Denis. 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 Saint-Denis, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia 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 Acacia Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hang in there, Jacques. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
Hope things get better soon, Jacques. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Salvador this morning. Greetings from Salvador.

Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts, Jacques. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 28 people at work. Love from Lahore.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Bandung.
