I coordinate donations at Baobab Refugee Centre in Medellín. 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 Medellín, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Baobab Refugee Centre 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 Baobab Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Thank you so much.

best of luck, Silvia. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Praying for you, Silvia. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could bring a meal. God bless.

Keep going, Silvia. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Eldoret.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Santos.
