I coordinate donations at the Baobab Community Church in Surat. 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 Surat, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Community Church on Wednesday 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 the Baobab Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
best of luck, Akash. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. Love from Prayagraj.
Hope it all works out, Akash. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Jakarta.
Keep going, Akash. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
thinking of you, Akash. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Akash. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Kanpur.
