Fundraising for Turkish and Syrian Earthquake Relief Fund
The humanitarian crisis continues to affect the people of Turkey and Syria. Make a difference by donating to the Turkey AKUT search and rescue team, or to the Ahbap Disaster Relief Organization. The Global Giving's Earthquake Relief Fund for Turkey and Syria is also accepting donations. Any amount of donations would be greatly appreciated, as the Turkish Lira-US Dollar parity makes even small donation amounts to be very effective.
