A simple way to help: donate warm clothing for kids at Pioneer Refugee Centre.

I coordinate donations at Pioneer Refugee Centre in Ludhiana. 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 Ludhiana, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Pioneer Refugee Centre on Monday 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 Pioneer Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Praying for you, Vishal. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
good luck, Vishal. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Take care, Vishal. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Ludhiana
Best of luck, Vishal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Stay strong, Vishal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Keep going, Vishal. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Vishal. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Amritsar.
Thinking of you, Vishal. Hope you get there. Thinking of Ludhiana.

Hang in there, Vishal. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck, Vishal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
thinking of you, Vishal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Peshawar.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Ludhiana
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Tuxtla Gutiérrez donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Keep going, Vishal. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Austin
