People across San Diego are doing what they can to help the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria. It's estimated 5,000 Turkish Americans live in San Diego county, a small but tight group.
"I have friends and relatives who are still waiting to hear from people who they know is under the rubble and still being hopeful. And I want to be hopeful too, but you know we’re coming to the end of that too," said Erol.
Erol's parents and immediate family are safe in Istanbul, but the fate of many relatives and friends in the earthquake zone remains unknown. "There are no words to describe how you feel. It's like maybe the closest one is devastation, of course, and them being so far away. You think, 'what can I do?'" said Erol.At the Islamic Center of San Diego, they're collecting new or gently used blankets, coats, baby food, and first aid kits."What I have seen so far is something unbelievable.
