I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Porto Alegre. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Porto Alegre, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Wednesday 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.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thanks for sharing this, Valentina. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Love from Cali.
Hope it all works out, Valentina. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
hope things get better soon, Valentina. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Jabalpur so I could bring a meal. God bless
