Marrakesh
I coordinate donations at Baobab Refugee Centre in Marrakesh. 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 Marrakesh, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Baobab Refugee Centre on Tuesday 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 Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    keep going, Salim. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

    • Stay strong, Salim. Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. Thinking of Marrakesh.

      • Hang in there, Salim. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Marrakesh.

          • Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Marrakesh.

            • Hope it all works out, Salim. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Madrid so I could bring a meal. Blessings
