I am looking for any information regarding the safety or condition of my friend, Sedat Senturk & his family in Istanbul. If you know of him or about his condition, please post a message to this board. Thank you!

What can I do to help? The death toll surged to 10,059 dead, and more than 45,000 were injured, the government said today. Does anyone know of groups that are helping. Please post to this board.

Thanks

Stephanie, I do not understand why God gives breath to people of your intelligence, but then again neither me or God judge people of your intellect, we only feel sorry for you!
As said 'Frank' from Canada, one day you may be in need of some form of help (Personally I think you are in need already), lets just hope those that tend you are more humane than your miserable, self centred & very narrow minded self.
For your own sake, I pray you never have to experience the devastation our fellow human beings recently experienced in Turkey (of all nationalities, including yours!), simply because you wouldn't last the distance or survive.
Your a shallow, cold hearted individual and one day your comments will come back and bite you on the arse!
I've probably wasted enough time on you already, so take care and find a real vocation and meaning to your hollow life!
You probably deserve less than you have?!

For all of those looking for ways to help, I have been regularly posting public announcements at the Yahoo! Turkiye Club: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/turkiye

I would post them here but they are too many and too long. Please visit the URL above to read the bulletin board messages on how you can help. There is also a listing of organizations that have designated specific funds for the Turkish earthquake.

An immediate action that you can take is to contact your local churches and synagogues and ask them to collect donations in this weekend's mass for the earthquake. The donations can be channelled to:

For churches:
American Red Cross
Turkey Eartquake Fund
1-800-HELP-NOW

For synagogues:
B'nai Brith
Turkey Earthquake Disaster Fund

To the Board:

I know that this is a site for individuals seeking to find their loved ones. I have no relatives missing in this quake, but I have friends who do. I simply must address Stephanie Wong's remarks and our response to them.
By attacking her with verbal zingers, we make ourselves feel better, but only shore up her assertions that her's is the only point of view.
Part of me wants to say "She was probably abused" or "she's on drugs" or "no one loves her and she is lashing out". But the habit of excusing ill behavior should be put to sleep along with intentional cruelties. There is no excuse for this behavior. There is, howver, no excuse for OUR behavior if we continue to insult her and verbally spit on her. As I said, we only add gasoline to the conflagration she's begun around herself.
So what will help? I don't know. We can pray for her, pity her, feel sorry for her...and we can also send donations to the various relief funds...in the name of Stephanie Wong.
