Dear Friends,
We have received numerous calls from many of you who wanted to help with the rescue and recovery efforts that are going on after the devastating earthquake in Turkey, and with your encouragement, my family and I have decided to start an initiative to help raise funds that will allow us to collaborate directly with volunteers in the field.
As a Turkish-American Family, still with many 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 are already in communication with a good number of volunteers who are in the front lines as we come from a family who has always been involved in local governance and charity organizations back in Turkey.
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. We will be providing regular updates on how the funds are being utilized.
Please join our family in this effort and support us by donating whatever amount you can by following the below link 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!
Warmly,
