Support earthquake victims in Antioch
Donation protected
On Feb 6th, a devastating earthquake struck our beloved town of Antioch/Hatay, my hometown, where my whole family lives and where the recent earthquake impacted the most, leaving many families in a state of shock and despair.
Lives were lost, homes, cars were destroyed, and businesses were ruined. The survivors are now faced with the daunting task of rebuilding their lives from scratch.
As a member of this community, I am heartbroken by the loss and devastation caused by the earthquake. The families affected by the earthquake are not just strangers to me, but they are my fellow countrymen and women. Some of these families are people I know directly, while others I know indirectly through friends, relatives, or their families.
I have seen the direct impact of this tragedy on the lives of these families. They lost loved ones, their homes, their cars, and their businesses. Those who survived the earthquake are now left with nothing but the clothes on them and the will to survive.
But I am also inspired by the resilience and strength of the survivors, who are determined to overcome this tragedy and start anew. That's why I am starting this relief fund to help the families who have lost everything in the earthquake.
For the moment, I target 10 families. However, I know that there is a huge need, and if we reach our initial goal, I plan to reach more families who need our help.
Here are a few example families from my target list who are in real need and will be benefiting from your support:
- A family of 5 is currently living in a friend's house. They need money for renting an apartment and starting their business again.
- A family of 2 is currently living in a tent and needs money to leave the tent and move to another city by renting an apartment.
- A family of 3 is already living in an apartment paid by their own, but they need money to run their business to stay afloat.
- An alone grandmother who lost her son needs a place to live in and money for her needs.
- A family of 5, including a 2-year-old baby, grandparents, and parents, lives in a dormitory that is not clean and safe enough. They need money to move to a safe place and start a business to meet essential needs.
Your donation can help provide these families with the essential resources they need to survive and rebuild their lives. After reaching a significant amount, I will divide the money per person and transfer it to them directly.
With your support, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by this tragedy. Please donate whatever you can, to help us reach our goal and bring hope to our community.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
