I coordinate donations at Lotus Refugee Centre in Soweto. 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 Soweto, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Lotus Refugee Centre on Tuesday between 10am and 2pm.
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 Lotus Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Zola. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Mumbai
You're not alone, Zola. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up.
Stay strong. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Zola. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Cape Town donated after I showed her your page. Love from Cape Town.
wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Cartagena
sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.
