5 coats to a bag, too thin? male? female? infant?

This one’s a tattered trench, this is one a brand-new pea coat, this one is niiiice

Of all days, today there is six inches of snow, rain, and sleet.
On my way here, I thought of not having a coat in such weather.
This is one’s for an infant
I stared at the mountain of coats. Bag upon bag at least 10 feet high
5 to a bag, male, female, infant, 38 million people living below the poverty line?
I stuffed bags with abandon.

When I was 10, living in Harlem, my school Principal gave toys to the kids. He gave me a coat.
It’s the holiday season, but more importantly it is cold.
I left the dank, dusty, poorly-lit warehouse and trekked home in the cold and driving snow.
I hardly noticed.
I helped 1,887 people find warmth.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
