Winter coats and boots for 38 children at the Sycamore Mosque in Istanbul

I coordinate donations at the Sycamore Mosque in Istanbul. 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 Istanbul, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Sycamore Mosque on Monday 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 the Sycamore Mosque clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thank you for reading my story.
