I coordinate donations at Acacia Refugee Centre in Negombo. 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 4-12. If you're in Negombo, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Acacia Refugee 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 Acacia Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal. All the best!

      wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

      • Guadalupe H. Pérez

        so sorry you're going through this, Piumi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best!

        • Russell R. Day

          Good luck, Piumi. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings

                  Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out

                  • Arturo F. Fernández

                    Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
