My name is Taslima Ferdous and I am raising money for the people affected by one of the deadliest earthquakes in the history of Turkey. Having visited south-eastern Turkey not once, twice but three times I feel a personal connection to the region, with many of my friends affected by the earthquakes, and now even more so through my husband who has lost members of his extended family in Adiyaman and their village.

Please join me in making a difference?

 I'm raising £5000 in aid of Hasene Humanitarian AID UK and every donation will help victims in Turkey, especially those in the hard to reach areas where aid has been limited. Any donation big or small will count, as £1 is equivalent to 23TL.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
