Have you donated anything to Syria or Turkey

[heartbroken22]

Obviously money. It's so sad seeing them suffer. We did it for Ukraine. Why can't we help Turkey/Syria? A lot of people around me don't really care and it's heartbreaking.

Yes

I did today - we are skint but I couldn't not donate 💔

Yes. I donated to Oxfam the day after it happened. Not a lot but I couldn't give nothing! It's heartbreaking.

Yes to the white helmets www.whitehelmets.org/en/?fbclid=IwAR02yldrvUsOo9QnZSk6IUfghWorpXc8vlO0t5wkR7ZVX8kPnMAvNp25qdA

DEC have an appeal.

Yes, my dd’s friend is half Turkish and very sadly has lost her uncle in the earthquake.

Yes, and my company matches donations too, so I always wait for them to put that in place before I donate to disasters of this ilk

Yes, i have. It is so awful what has happened.

And us - through action aid.

Yes. I donated to a small local Islamic charity that were featured on the local news.

Yes. This is heartbreaking

Yes, gave to Doctors without Borders. I live in an area with many people from the affected region, I think I'll ask at the Turkish supermarket or the community centre to find out if there is a more local charity.

It's been cold here, but not as cold as there, and I've found it uncomfortable enough - the thought of all these people without shelter in that weather is horrible.

Devastating is an understatement, I saw one man who lost twelve members of his family and then another lady died giving birth in the rubble but the baby survived. You can’t not get teary eyed, it’s so heartbreaking

Yes, I donated. A colleague has lost several family members and it’s just heartbreaking. The people of that region have suffered so much already.

Yes, I have donated to the Red Cross and my DS is going to donate his birthday money this weekend.

That is wondetful of him, he sounds very kind and selfless.

Well, he needs a bit more convincing but he will do it 😬 I can’t stop thinking about some of the stories I’ve read this week 😢

I will be on Friday. DC’s school are having an ad hoc, last minute, dress down day to raise funds. I’ll be donating more than the usual £1, I’m sure I won’t be the only one. I hope they raise a decent amount.

Yes, if people are able to they absolutely should.

Yes to three organisations who are on the ground - MSF, DEC and White Helmets. The latter have been doing brilliant work since the start of the conflict in Syria and blimmin deserve it earthquake or no earthquake.

Yes to DEC. Seeing all the images on tv and hearing the stories is absolutely heartbreaking.

Yes, we have. It truly is heartbreaking and my older DC wanted to help. We have a large Turkish community where we live and they are organising a collection of things like nappies, baby milk, sanitary products and clothing to be sent over, so we are contributing to this.

Yes

Yes, to the white helmets.

Yes to Red Cross, there was an advert on TV.
