Penny Appeal stated that Rabina “is a supermum who believes in giving back to society.” Her mission is to raise awareness and fund to assist people in need and provide them the assistance they need in the wake of the tragedy. She is gathering money for the victims of the Turkiye/Syrian earthquake appeal.
On February 6, one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded in the area shook southern and central Turkey as well as northern and western Syria, killing over 59,000 people in both countries and displacing over 15 million more.
