I coordinate donations at the Sycamore Family Centre in Varanasi. 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 Varanasi, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Sycamore Family Centre on Saturday between 11am and 4pm.
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 Sycamore Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Anita. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
Stay strong, Anita. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't give up. Take care
You're not alone, Anita. Hope this works out for you. Love from Durham.
keep going, Anita. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 27 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Ottawa but we're thinking of you. Love from Ottawa.
Thinking of you and your family, Anita. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
best of luck, Anita. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Rohini this morning
Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings!
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Varanasi.
