Istanbul flood relief - Northside village
Neighbors in Northside village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,045 views
The flood hit Northside village on 25 November. My home was one of 51 damaged, and 9 families are still in temporary shelter at a borrowed warehouse.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• Clean water and purification supplies: $160
• Food parcels for displaced families: $240
• Roofing sheets and timber: $410
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $240
Thank you for reading my story.

Take care, Murat. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Paris so I could bring a meal. All the best
best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Istanbul.
Best of luck. Great idea, hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Albuquerque.
Sending good thoughts, Murat. More neighborhoods should do this.
great idea, hope you get there. My husband and I read this together.
