Earthquake Fundraiser Rebuilding For the Future

While on the ground in the earthquake disaster zone, I was able to fully witness and understand the unprecedented devastation that has befallen the Kurdish, Turkish and Syrian people. I truly never expected to have seen one dead body in my life, let alone hundreds.

But one of the sorrows that gripped my attention, was the children. Many of them lost their parents, grandparents, and other family members. And on top of that, they've lost school teachers, football coaches, singing instructors, and many other role models and guiding figures in their lives. Because of this, they will inevitably have a much slower start to life than those of us living in first-world countries.

I want to do something for these kids. I want to support their development and growth as much as I possibly can. While I do not have any direct relationship with the children of Maras, I have been building and will continue building relationships with the local education authorities. Through these relationships, I will develop the most optimal strategy for rebuilding a school or rec centre with these funds. The plan may fold out as me partnering with a charity, or with the local education authorities in Turkey.

For now, the world is focused on saving lives. But once that turns towards rebuilding lives and focusing on the long-term impact of this earthquake, I will be ready with the strategy and plan. Once the money is donated, we’ll post all receipts/invoices etc for absolutely everything and I’m happy to be fully independently audited if anyone wishes.

If you can’t donate please do share. Thank you for all the support so far.
