I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Giza. 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 Giza, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Sunday 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 Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Flint so I could bring a meal.
hang in there, Zakaria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Giza.
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings.
Keep going, Zakaria. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
Rooting for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Giza.
Rooting for you, Zakaria. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
thanks for sharing this. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you and your family, Zakaria. Shared it with a few friends. After 13 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you. Hope you get there. Greetings from Yonkers.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Stay strong, Zakaria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Narayanganj donated after I showed her your page
