Coats, boots, hats and gloves are needed before the rains.

I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Thane. 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 Thane, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Tuesday between 9am and 4pm.
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 Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Portland but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Portland
good luck, Seema. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Thane.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Thane.
Good luck, Seema. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Arlington.

Stay strong, Seema. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Praying for you, Seema. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 7 people at work. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Seema. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Rockford.
Hope things get better soon, Seema. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Bucaramanga!
keep going, Seema. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Thinking of you, Seema. I hope things turn around soon.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Thane
