I coordinate donations at Lotus Women's Shelter in San Francisco. 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 Francisco, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Women's Shelter on Tuesday between 10am 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 Lotus Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

          • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Istanbul.
