I coordinate donations at Baobab Women's Shelter in Istanbul. 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 4-12. If you're in Istanbul, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Baobab Women's Shelter on Sunday between 9am 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

      wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Kyoto so I could bring a meal.

        Wishing you the best, Cem. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.

          I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Essen.
