text: Vivian: hello guys
  Vivian: it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you that Christmas is coming
  Vivian: as we all know, it's the time when people are generally more kind and generous to one another
  Vivian: I thought that we could try to do something good for some homeless people
  George: Are you thinking about fund-raising?
  Vivian: not exactly. I was thinking more like collecting items like blankets, warm clothes, toiletries and other basic necessities
  George: That's better, people would rather give some things away than donating money
  Ruth: That's true, people tend to be prejudiced against fund-raising, and so am I
  Ruth: But I've got many redundant things in the attic, mostly clothes
  Vivian: that's exactly the point, Ruth. and your example perfectly reflects my intentions
  George: Actually, I can check in my attic too. I guess my mum's put something in there
  Jack: My attic is a real 'blanket paradise'
  Jack: I've always wondered why my parents put all those blankets there, some were even hardly used...
  Vivian: you see? each of us is able to help.
  Vivian: there're so many things that we consider useless but which may actually improve some people's lives
  George: All right! Let's help the homeless then :)
  Ruth: I'll try to convince some more people
  Vivian: Terrific :)
target: Vivian wants to collect various items for homeless people before Christmas. Ruth, George and Jack will contribute with whatever they find relevant. Ruth will convince some more people.
