I coordinate donations at Maple Women's Shelter in Ikeja. 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 Ikeja, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Women's Shelter on Friday between 11am 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 Maple Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

thinking of you, Jide. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Los Angeles
