I coordinate donations at the Baobab Community Church in San Francisco. 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 San Francisco, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Baobab Community Church on Thursday 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 the Baobab Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone. I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Keep going, Elena. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

      Rooting for you, Elena. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust

        You're not alone. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of San Francisco

          Hang in there, Elena. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.

            take care, Elena. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Please keep us posted. Blessings

                this could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bogotá.

                    It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Austin.
