Donate for Disasters Turkey was recently shaken by a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. The impact was widespread and many communities were severely affected. At this difficult time, we reach out to ask for your support. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us provide much-needed assistance to those affected by the earthquake. Your generosity will help provide shelter, food and medical supplies to those in need. If you would like to donate, we have shared IBAN information for contribution purposes below. Your contribution will make a real difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster. Thank you for your kindness and support.
of course, If I knew and trusted someone there, I would. I've given to organizations where I know the people. I have no contacts in Turkey or Syria. Only option is red cross or other large well known organization, else governments will send aide and just tax/inflate us.
not sure what else we can do being so far away on mainland USA. I think this is a case where you have to build good relationships with neighbors.
I do think the US government should help immensely using military resources, they have such on the ground... heli copters, soldiers. They can bring aide quickly. We are important allies, Turkey and their people are important and good friends.
Honestly? No. I'm on GaG for interactions with others. Not for donation requests. And I guarantee that if I put up a link for donations for the homeless in New York City I'd have my account frozen. It's only because this is Turkey that this is allowed to stay up.
I'm going to come across as a miser but whatever. Have you heard there's a Cost of Living Crisis in the UK? (Nothing to do with BREXIT, honest!) I'm technically living in fuel poverty. Displaced Turks should me sending ME donations.
