I coordinate donations at Union Women's Shelter in Zanzibar City. 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 Zanzibar City, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Union Women's Shelter on Sunday 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 Union Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Hang in there, Imani. Shared this with my family. After 9 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.

    • Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Gaziantep.

      • Hope things get better soon, Imani. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

        • Take care, Imani. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

          • keep going, Imani. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best

            • Sending strength, Imani. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 10 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything!

              • Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.

                • wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out

                  • keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.

                          • Good luck, Imani. 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. Blessings.
