I coordinate donations at Unity Refugee Centre in Thane. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Thane, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Unity Refugee Centre on Saturday 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 Unity Refugee Centre 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.

  • sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.

    • thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Nice!

      • Sending strength, Dipika. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up

        • Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out

          • Thinking of you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Marseille.
