After one of their homes was nearly destroyed during the massive earthquake in Turkey earlier this month, a family is using restaurants it owns in Orange County, California, to gather supplies and donations for victims of the disaster.

“[The earthquake] was terrible. It killed so many people. We knew we had to do whatever we could to help,” said Esat Karaaslan, restaurant co-owner of I Can Korean Barbecue, who immigrated from Turkey to the United States over 20 years ago.
