Donate a coat: Vida is collecting for 79 families
A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at Baobab Women's Shelter.
🇬🇭 Madina, Greater Accra, Ghana869 views
I coordinate donations at Baobab Women's Shelter in Madina. 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 Madina, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Baobab Women's Shelter on Thursday between 11am and 3pm.
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 Baobab Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

thanks for sharing this, Vida. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Madina.
Wishing you peace, Vida. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Madina.
