Help Iskenderun earthquake survivors survive

Like the rest of the world, my family is extremely shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria. Unfortunately, my family has been impacted as we learned after 60 hours of waiting for hope, that my cousin, Okan Sahin, did not survive.

As an attempt to directly help the survivors, I am collecting donations to distribute to my family members in Iskenderun to support the survivors, hospitals, medical sites, and shelters throughout Iskenderun. I will use 100% of ALL funds to support my family and other survivors. In this way, I know any donations provided will be spent directly helping survivors of this tragedy. Any support you can provide is truly appreciated.

In times of tragedy, doing what we can to pray for the injured and trapped, and do our best to help the survivors is all that I am able to do to keep my mind busy and and make a positive impact during this time of deep sadness. And I intend to do the best I can to #helpthesurvivorssurvive

Thank you for taking the time to read. If you’re unable to donate, please say a prayer and share this fundraiser. Thank you so much.
