Qasim Rashid, Esq.

Keep Turkey & Syria and the surrounding nations in your prayers. Early estimates are 2600+ dead and scores more injured. This is being called the worst earthquake to hit the region in 500 years.

I'll be vetting and posting legit fundraisers as soon as I possibly can.

OMG thank you. I don't want anything to be filtered by either Assad or Erdogan, both of whom are genocidal £+36¢°÷πs

@karenfitton @QasimRashid thank you, I value this comment more than you know. I recommend nonprofit organizations that have taken a pledge in Turkey organized by Acik Acik foundation. This means they take measures and steps to show they are accountable and transparent. They are audited independently and share their financials transparently. Unfortunately this site is only in Turkish but Google translate should work. https://acikacik.org/stk/ . Akut is a member.
