I coordinate donations at Jacaranda Refugee Centre in Ogbomosho. 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 Ogbomosho, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Jacaranda Refugee Centre on Thursday between 10am 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 Jacaranda Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

            You're not alone, Lola. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Fresno so I could bring a meal.

              hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
