This was an marauders incorrect quotes acc once but im mostly offline
AKUT: Akut is a non-governmental organization involving in searching, assisting and rescuing victims. They're very transparent in how they spend the donations, you can donate in so many currencies easily. (I added the link they accept donations in USD and EUR)
AHBAP: Ahbap is a sourcable local voluntary network and is active in affected regions. They rescue and help victims. They're really trustworthy. You can donate in USD, EUR and GBP.
AFAD: Afad is a governmental organization. Turkiye's official disaster and emergency management authority. I would recommend donating to AHBAP and AKUT more, but they're reliable too.
How much you can help?
Well, 1 EUR is 20,14 TRY; 1 USD is 18,82 TRY and 1 GBP is 22,71 TRY. They almost worth the same amount so I'm gonna speak generally.
With only 5 USD, you can donate enough money for:
2 blankets
13 loaves of bread
Almost 40 liters of water
Almost 6 pair of socks
Enough ingredients to cook for 3 days for a family
Almost 2 boxes of pad
A box of diapers
With only 10 USD, you can donate enough money for:
Winter clothes
Boots
2 powerbanks (people need battery so they can ask for help and communicate)
Bus and train tickets (so people can go to safer cities)
Some medical fees (most of them are free, but sometimes we need to pay for xray or medicines)
(I'm not adding so many things to not make this post so long, but the minimum wage in Turkiye is 450 USD, you can guess how much you can help with 50 or 100 USD)
There are so many people affected by earthquakes and with so little money you can make a big difference. You can help people getting shelter, food and things they need.
So please consider donating if you have stable income. Please.
I know JKR is an asshole and Hogwarts Legacy sucks and shouldn't be played at all costs but there are more than 20k deaths in Turkiye, and i feel like people care more about cancelling Rowling and pretending to care about human rights than actually caring about people and making help
hi, if you want to help people affected by the earthquakes in turkey but don't want to support government-affiliated channels, AKUT and AHBAP are two trusted non-governmental organizations you can donate. AKUT's website supports english and this tweet shows how you can donate to AHBAP (the website does not support english as of now). HAYTAP is another turkish organization that helps our animal friends and you can see how you can donate to them here. this twitter account shares multiple translations for people to find medicine, food, water, and other supplies in the region.
multiple earthquakes killed already more than 14 thousand people already and it's very cold. every little bit helps, thank you.
editing to add: this linktree also has additional resources for syria as well although i cannot confirm if they're reliable, please let me know!
i actually wasn't going to post anything regarding the eartquake in turkey because even though i'm physically not affected by it, still witnessing this kind of a distaster in my country is quite mentally draining. since it's almost impossible to see a footage so real in turkish tv, coming across this video first thing in the morning when i wake up made me tear up.
it's the greek state television opening the morning news with photos and videos of wreckages in turkey with a very emotional folk song we have. many countries around the world have send help since the first minute and times like this remind me that at the end of the day, we all are human.
adding these, the government here does so little to help people in the earthquake area and we have lost 7k+ people, thousands of building collapsed and even though it's passed 50hrs, there are people waiting for help and villages, cities with no rescue team reached. erd*gan and his allies have left everyone in the country alone and devastated and what's more heartbreaking is that the earthquake isn't the real reason behind the deaths, but it's the negligence, the disregard the politicians showed and continue to show.
please, please consider donating ahbap, a charity organization by turkish singer & philanthropist, haluk levent. it's probably the most and only reliable fundraiser we have here in turkey since the govm. related ones are absolutely full of shit. the link is here, please donate. help in any way you can.
for once again. two devastating earthquakes happened in turkey and people need your help. it's been 3 days and there are still people buried alive and about to die any minute but you can save them.
1. DON'T DONATE to kızılay.org (red cross) > why? because although they're a legit government organization, they've been pocketing donations and earthquake taxes since 1999 gölcük earthquake. there are thousands of articles about them on the internet and every turkish people asks the same question: "what happened to the earthquake special taxes in turkey?"
2. DONATE TO
Ahbap Charity (charity of Turkish singer and philanthropist Haluk Levent, very reliable person) > https://ahbap.org/disasters-turkey
Haytap Animal Rights Federation (for animals affected by the earthquake) > https://fonzip.com/haytap/bagis
AFAD (Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency) > https://en.afad.gov.tr/earthquake-donation-accounts
Alhamdulillah, after almost three years of countless rewrites and edits, so much questioning and fears, writing sessions till midnight, wading through the publishing industry, screaming to my sister in both excitement and frustration, my first book is here!!
Thank you so much to everyone who has been there in this journey and waited for this book, I'm so excited (and terrified) to share this with you! 💛
