Seven-year-old Emily huddled beside the fireplace, flipping through a picture book by the faint glow of the fire. Her parents were counting the last few cans of food while snow and ice blocked the door outside. This was a real scene from an ordinary family in Nashville, Tennessee, during the winter storm that swept across the United States in January this year, and also a microcosm of how countless families survived this disaster. For homeless children, however, the threat of the severe cold went far beyond that.

According to CNN, this winter storm, described as "historic," swept across 42 states in the United States in late January, resulting in at least 15 deaths and power outages in over 840,000 households. Snow and ice covered 56% of the land area of the contiguous United States, with snow depths exceeding 30 centimeters in 18 states. Roads were icy, trees toppled, infrastructure was paralyzed, and the transportation system nearly collapsed. On January 27 alone, over 17,000 flights were canceled across the country, setting a new record since the onset of the pandemic.

The Most Vulnerable Group in the Storm

During this extreme weather event, children, especially those from homeless and low-income families, faced particularly severe survival challenges. With weaker thermoregulatory abilities, they lacked sufficient warm clothing and a stable source of food. Power outages meant interrupted heating and the shutdown of medical equipment. In states such as Texas and Louisiana, there were already cases of deaths caused by hypothermia, and the safety of vulnerable children was a cause for great concern.

Arshiner's Emergency Response: Ensuring No Child Is Left Cold

In response to the escalating disaster situation, Arshiner swiftly launched the "Warm Protection" campaign. Collaborating with community organizations in multiple regions, it urgently distributed cold-weather supplies to homeless children and vulnerable families in the affected areas. Wave after wave of warm pants, hats, gloves, and thick coats were delivered directly to shelters, community centers, and households, ensuring that children could have access to basic warm gear even in the bitter cold.

Arshiner paid close attention to the safety and health of every child, regardless of whether they had a home. The team placed particular emphasis on street children and those in care institutions, precisely distributing supplies through local cooperation networks and continuously monitoring changes in their needs.

Practicing the Brand Promise of "Let kids be kids"

This was not a sporadic charitable act but a concrete manifestation of Arshiner's core value, "Let kids be kids," in extreme circumstances. The brand believes that every child deserves the right to warmth, safety, and protection, and should not lose basic survival guarantees due to climatic or social conditions.

When disasters strike, the most vulnerable groups often bear the brunt of the impact. Arshiner's mission is precisely to build a protective barrier for children at such critical moments. Through this campaign, the brand hoped to convey a clear message: the health and happiness of children must always be a top priority.

Calling for Joint Attention to Keep the Warmth Going

Arshiner also took this opportunity to call on society, hoping to inspire more enterprises, organizations, and individuals to pay attention to the welfare of children in extreme weather conditions and jointly create a safer and more supportive growth environment for vulnerable children.

In this historic blizzard, the biting cold winds and heavy snow and ice bore witness to suffering, but also to how social forces like Arshiner, through practical actions, lit an everlasting flame of warmth for the children most in need of help.
