I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Cartagena. 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 Cartagena, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Wednesday between 10am 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 Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Glad we found this place.

    Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

      Sending strength, Eduardo. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Bogor but we're thinking of you.

        Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 27 people at work. Love from Barranquilla.

          take care, Eduardo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Juiz de Fora.

            Sending love, Eduardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
