There are diapers and clothes at the Turkish Cultural Center, along with pallets of building supplies for people and families.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams came Friday to show support for the Turkish people, with a special place in his heart for Turkey. He has visited there many times. "I watched you take in the Syrian refugees and how you allowed those who were seeking some form of support as they were fleeing persecution in their country," Adams said.
"You have always been there for other countries and we want to be here for you." "We've lost all our hope, we don't have anything, my mom and my dad, they are very broken," Salma Salazar said. Salazar is the younger sister of Kimberly Firik from Queens, who died with her mother-in-law, husband and two children while on vacation in Turkey. "There are no words I can describe how my family is feeling, how they were taken away so soon, they were just children," Salazar said.Relief packages can be handed over to the Turkish Consulate located at 821 1st Avenue New York, NY 10017 between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m.300-2 Route 17 South, Unit D Lodi, New Jersey
