The earthquakes in Turkey have been reported as one of the deadliest natural disasters of the century. All donations will be sent to @ahbap (reputable NGO that saved maybe thousands of lives). If you still could not donate from abroad: https://t.co/kg9jIJwDVG

[Hilal Sert @serthilall]

If there is anyone who would like to donate for the cause!
