Helping the Poor in Winter

January 2025

As winter approached, Samira and her friends noticed how cold it was getting. They loved wearing cozy jackets and sipping the hot chocolate coffee by the fire. But one evening, on her way home, Samira saw something that made her heart ache. She noticed a homeless family sitting under a bridge, trying to stay warm with only a few thin blankets. She realized that the gypsies had no warm clothes or shelter to protect themselves from the cold.



When Samira got home, she couldn’t stop thinking about that family. She knew winter in next two months could be harsh, especially for those who didn’t have warm clothes or a place to stay. She decided to help them. The next day at school, she shared her idea with friends. “We can collect warm clothes and blankets for those in need,” she suggested. Her friends loved the idea, and they decided to take action right away.
The friends started by asking their families and neighbors to donate any extra winter clothes, like jackets, sweaters, scarves, and gloves. They made posters to spread the word about their collection drive and even went door-to-door in their neighborhood. Within a few days, they collected several bags full of warm clothing, blankets, and other essentials.
With the help of their teachers, Samira and her friends organized a small event at school. They invited everyone to come and bring more donations. Soon, parents, teachers, and other students joined in, bringing items like socks, hats, and even shoes. Everyone wanted to do their part to help those who were less fortunate. After gathering everything, Samira and her friends sorted the items and packed them carefully. They reached out to a local shelter and arranged a day to deliver the donations. When they finally arrived at the shelter, the families there were so grateful. Many of them had been struggling to stay warm and were touched by the kindness of these young students. Seeing the joy on their faces, Samira felt a warmth in her heart that no winter chill could take away.
By the end of the day, Samira and her friends knew they had made a difference. They realized that even small acts of kindness could mean the world to someone in need. As they left the shelter, they promised each other to keep helping others, not only during winter but all year round. 
This act of kindness taught them that everyone has something to give, whether it’s time, effort, or simply a caring heart. And as they walked back home in their cozy jackets, they felt happier knowing they had helped to make winter a little warmer for those who needed it the most.
