Hatay Earthquake Relief

Donation protected
We are Katelyn and Solomon Ozdemir and we are raising money to help our family and community who are affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey. Solomon's entire family lives in Hatay, Turkey which currently has the highest death toll and most damage. Solomon's older brother and family were in their home sleeping when the building partially collapsed in on them. Luckily they survived but their home is destroyed. Solomon's parents are also okay but he has other family members who have passed away. His family and friends are currently sleeping in parking lots. There is no power, electricity, internet, basic services, etc. It is even more dangerous as it is winter and temperatures are reaching below freezing at night and the climate is rainy in the winter as well. As most people lost their homes and ability to work and make money in the earthquake they are in need of immediate supplies. All the money raised will go directly to his family and friends who have lost everything overnight. In the short term, the money will go to buy blankets, gas, food, water, wood to burn fires to keep warm, etc. Longer term, any left over money will go to helping rebuilding their lives. Please remember any amount, no matter how small, will make a big impact because $1 USD= 18 Turkish Liras. The best thing you can do to help us is to share this and spread the word. Thank you so much for your support at this time, Katelyn & Solomon.
