Hi everyone, my name is Nurcan Sumbul. Kahramanmaras, Turkey has been home to my family for generations. On February 6th, 2023 their town was the epicenter of a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake across south Turkey and Syria which killed over 50,000. My family lost everything: some their lives, the rest their homes, possessions, friends, livelihoods, and security. Please consider donating to help provide urgent necessities for them, such as shelter, relocation costs, clothing and food. The funds will be sent to my father (Murat Sumbul) who will be in Turkey for the next month or so to help our family cope with their losses. He will disperse the funds first to my cousin Sema who gave birth this week in Kahramanmaras, as well as my father’s three young cousins who have just lost their parents, Fatma and Mehmet, to the earthquake. Included are some photos of my family before the earthquake happened as well as photos of the aftermath/tents they are taking shelter in currently. The rest of the money donated will go towards rent and medical bills for our other surviving relatives and their neighbors. Anything and everything is appreciated, including simply sharing the link. We are incredibly thankful.
