Operation Türkiye-Earthquake Recovery Assistance
Donation protected
As you know, Turkey was hit by two major earthquakes within a span of 12 hours causing much pain and suffering in the Southeastern region of the country. Search-and-rescue efforts are being carried out under very challenging conditions due to crumbled infrastructure and inclement weather, and Emergency Squads need all the help and support they can get. As a Turkish-American Family, still with many familial ties to Turkey, we have firsthand accounts of how grim the situation is throughout the country. Entire neighborhoods are in shambles where half of the buildings were destroyed, and the remaining half are inhabitable. Even though everyone is concentrating on search and rescue efforts now, the entire nation is extremely pessimistic regarding the recovery that will follow. People have no access to basic necessities including but not limited to water, food, accommodation, and transportation. We have received a lot of calls from friends and colleagues who want to help, and with their encouragement, we have decided to start an initiative to help raise funds that will allow us to collaborate directly with volunteers in the field. Our goal is to identify individual causes, such as creating a mobile soup kitchen, buying and distributing potable water, and providing families with temporary accommodation in the regions that suffered from this devastating catastrophe and sponsor these causes directly in full financial transparency. Please join our family in this effort and support us by donating whatever amount you can as even the most modest of contributions make a big difference. We are forever grateful for any help you can extend and thank you all in advance for your generosity! Lara, Tuvana, Burcak and Ozgur
