I coordinate donations at the Sycamore Mosque in Riverside. 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 Riverside, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Sycamore Mosque on Friday 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 the Sycamore Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I hope life is good to you.

    Good luck, Melanie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Krak贸w.

        Best of luck. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

        • Best of luck, Melanie. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless

          • Wishing you peace, Melanie. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

            • Wishing you peace, Melanie. 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. Greetings from Moscow!

              • Praying for you, Melanie. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out

                • Hope things get better soon, Melanie. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

                  • So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. God bless.

                      • Thinking of you, Melanie. Shared this with my family

                        • Good luck, Melanie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

                          • Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Rennes but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

                            • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. All the best.

                              • Good luck, Melanie. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

                                • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope April is when things finally get easier. God bless

                                  • Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Makati.
