I coordinate donations at Lotus Refugee Centre in San Diego. 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 San Diego, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Refugee Centre on Friday between 11am 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 Lotus Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 18 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
