I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Tuesday between 11am 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 Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • Stay strong. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Los Angeles

    • stay strong, Joaquín. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Dublin but we're thinking of you

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Thinking of Los Angeles.

          • So sorry you're going through this, Joaquín. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Los Angeles.
