The sheer scale of the damage following the earthquakes in Turkey is heartbreaking to witness. With each hour that passes, the death toll increases dramatically. As a person with Turkish heritage who lived through the infamous 1999 earthquake, which resulted in 18,000 deaths, I know the damage and destruction are unfathomable. Right now, there are hundreds if not thousands of people trapped underneath rubble or in desperate need of medical attention. People are sleeping on the streets in the dead of winter because they are too scared to sleep in buildings. Clean water, food and medication are in short supply. Please give what you can to help those in the impacted areas. Every dollar counts.
