| Thanks for the idea! I just bought 10 coats for a foster child organization in Seattle. Well done DCUM. |
Also bought lots of Coats to donate and I put Macy's link and a coupon code on my Facebook status. I bet OPs post generates hundreds of coats for kids in need. Well done OP and DCUM. |
| Me too! I just bought 10 coats of various sizes to donate! |
| This makes me so, so happy. |
| Amazing. Thanks, OP! |

| Thanks OP. 4 coats off to charity! |
| This thread is so awesome. Thank you to everyone for their generosity. |
| This is OP again. Today has really been a wonderful day. I frequent DCUM a lot and sometimes things get a little too negative or depressing. This is a reminder how many good people are out there. All of you amaze me. If I ever see something like this again I will post for sure. Good night! |
| Thanks, OP. I ordered one to donate as well. |
