I coordinate donations at the Baobab Mosque in Madurai. 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 Madurai, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Mosque on Friday 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 the Baobab Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

      • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
