| DONATIONS TO THE BAND
BAND ON THE RUN
Thanks to your generosity, the band was able to leave Syria on October 10th and escaped to Turkey. The money raised bought them airplane tickets and put some survival cash in their pockets but they’ve burned through it due to Turkey’s high cost of living and are now officially broke. Life in Istanbul is proving extremely difficult for Acrassicauda.
