You might know, I'm from Turkey and we were hit by two massive earthquakes almost 48 hours ago. I fortunately live far away, so I'm safe but so many people need help.
I normally don't make a post like this, but I've been crying and trying to help donation supplies to be packed all day with my friends and now all I can see on the news is people still not receiving help, people who don't even have money.
Everyone is trying to organize what little help we can, on social media, sharing missing person names, help locations, and basically trying to save each other.
People are trying to save each other, reaching out on Twitter on their phones telling their home addresses and they're stuck while under rubble and all we can see is them tweeting it's getting cold and they still can't have help etc and it's breaking everyone's hearts. There's mourning all over my country.
The thing I am saying is, if you can, please donate.
The Ahbap organization, which is a civilian organization, is the MOST TRUSTED one, and they're the most reliable way to know your donation has reached it's place.
Their website doesn't have an English option, but your browser should be able to translate it to whatever language you prefer, since I tested it and it translates to English from Turkish accurately.
This post has listed their account numbers you can donate to.
https://ahbap.org/
And that's their donation page on the website, the highest option which is 200 Turkish liras, is around equals to 11 USD or 10 euro roughly, and it's around the price of a blanket (which is needed, because the temperatures are below zero *Celsius* in the effected area and people won't survive without help)
You might not be economically available ti donate, but maybr one of your mutuals can. So please reblog.
