I coordinate donations at the Union Family Centre in Istanbul. 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 Istanbul, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Union Family Centre on Wednesday 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 the Union Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Thank you so much.

Praying for you, Özlem. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Good luck, Özlem. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Cologne so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Hang in there, Özlem. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending love, Özlem. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dortmund.
