It's an NGO that currently is crowdsourcing donations for the relief.
- madaxe_again 4y agoAnd there is what, precisely, to prevent Erdogan and his cronies from just seizing the funds and arresting the principals? These bank accounts are in Turkey. I would honestly be more comfortable using the likes of PayPal, as it’s less likely to be stolen by the government.
- sokols 4y agoWell, if we go by the logic you stated, a meteorite may fall down to my head now while I am exiting my work place. Anyway, I think there are enough alternatives to donate. Where I live, a local relief organization is collecting donations for Turkey and Syria. Then there are UN agencies who do that etc.
- LarryMullins 4y agoErdogan doing Erdogan things is a lot more likely than a meteorite falling on you, but it's your money so you do you.
- mrtksn 4y agoThey are very quick in spending the money and don't do long term project, built a solid reputation over the years and it's founder is a Turkish Rocks star who is politically not very pronounced.
- madaxe_again 4y agoThat’s a good strategy, and good to know, thank you. I worked with an orphanage in Kyrgyzstan who had a policy of ensuring their bank account was empty at the end of every day, and it worked for them. I’ve made a donation - I hope it ends up helping someone who needs it.
- mrtksn 4y agothanks a lot!
