Help Ece Honor Tolga Balik's Memory
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate community,
It is with heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of Tolga Balik’s sudden and tragic passing. Tolga was a beloved father, friend, and member of our community, and he leaves behind his 17-year-old daughter, Ece, who is now navigating this profound loss alone. As she prepares for her final year of high school, the weight of this tragedy is immense, and she faces an overwhelming financial burden that no young person should have to bear.
In honor of Tolga’s memory, we are reaching out to our community to come together and help support Ece during this incredibly challenging time. Our goal is to provide Tolga with a dignified and respectful farewell—a final act of love and remembrance that Ece, and all of us, can hold onto in our grief.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, will directly assist with essential expenses such as the funeral service, burial arrangements, transportation, and a modest memorial. Your generosity will make a profound difference in allowing Ece to focus on mourning and remembering her father without the added stress of financial strain.
We are deeply grateful for your thoughts, prayers, and any support you can offer. Your kindness means the world to us as we come together in love and solidarity to give Tolga the farewell he deserves.
With heartfelt gratitude,
