Turkish Earthquake - Yildirim family

My name is Mandi and my daughter is Olivia. Livs Turkish family have been devastatingly affected by the tragic earthquake in Turkey. Whilst we are very very very grateful that most of the family are alive they are now displaced and have a very very uncertain future.

We await news of Esra, Husband and baby son but as we enter day 7 hopes are diminishing.

Ali Yildirim, Fatma, Seymuse and zanan have thankfully made it it to Didim as their house and business are destroyed with just the clothes on their backs.

Rashan, Kemal, belfin and azra are sharing a room with many many people with no facilities and again just the clothes on their backs. Until Esra is found they will not leave.

Livs nanny is safe but cannot get to her home as it’s surrounded by rubble. She will be travelling to Antalya once Esra is found.

Cetin is in hospital after being brought from the rubble after 63 hours his home now destroyed. His daughter and son both safe.

70% of their town is flat or damaged beyond repair. I need to look at a longer term solution for finding accommodation and basic life needs for this extended family

I know many of you have donated directly to emergency relief which is crucial but if you can spare anything to help with their recovery and get them some form of normal living whilst they deal with the tragedy bestowed on them. I would be eternally grateful

All funds raised will be allocated to the families directly to purchase clothes and basic needs whilst also looking to rent accommodation for the foreseeable future. Funds will be sent directly to Livs nanny on a pre paid card which she already has in her possession with an agreed allocation of funds to cover expenses
