Devastating earthquakes have recently shaken Turkiye with magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.5. The impact has been widespread and many communities have been severely affected. In this difficult time, we are reaching out to ask for your support. Every help, no matter how small, will help provide much-needed relief to those affected by the earthquake. Your contribution will make a real difference in the lives of those affected by this disaster.

As Texas A&M University Turkish Student Association, we set a goal to raise $20,000 to aid the ongoing search and rescue efforts taking place in Turkiye. The funds collected will be directly transferred to the Bridge to Turkiye Fund which is collectively raising $5,000,000 for the ongoing search and rescue efforts.

Cities affected by earthquakes: Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Gaziantep, Osmaniye, Malatya, Adana, Diyarbakır, Şanlıurfa, Adıyaman, Kilis.

Our aim, as the Turkish Students Association is to support our citizens who were harmed by the earthquakes in our country.

Your generosity will help provide shelter, food, and medical supplies to those in need.

MIT Turkish Students Turkey Earthquake Relief Fund
As Turkish Students at MIT, we ask for your support during these challenging times. The smallest amount you will donate can make a difference in the long and testing aftermath that lies ahead of families, friends, and loved ones in Turkey.

On February 6th, Turkey was struck by two deadly earthquakes of magnitudes 7.5 and 7.8, the most catastrophic disaster to hit Turkey in decades, leaving more than 42,000 people dead and many more injured, reducing thousands of buildings to the ground, and wiping out entire cities we once called home. Country-wide search and rescue efforts are currently in place to save tens of thousands of victims under the wreckages and provide food and shelter to those who lost their homes.

Your support directly goes to the Bridge to Turkiye Fund, which works closely with the AHBAP Association, a well-known and reputable non-profit grasshopper organization, to support disaster victims.

We are grateful to all those who send their thoughts and prayers.

ISU Helps Earthquake Victims In Turkiye
On February 6, 2023, Turkiye was hit by two devastating earthquakes of magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5, bringing immense destruction and loss of life to the region. The earthquakes were centered in Hatay, Maraş, Antep, Diyarbakır, Malatya, Osmaniye, Adana, Adıyaman and Urfa, which are home to around 15 million people.

The impact of the earthquakes has been devastating, with fatalities surpassing 7,900 and expected to be even more, as reported by the Earthquake and Risk Reduction Division (AFAD) in Turkiye. In addition to the loss of life, numerous individuals have been injured and thousands have been left homeless or unable to enter their homes. The ongoing snowfall only adds to the dire humanitarian situation.

Turkiye has declared a Level-4 emergency alert, calling for international aid and support to address the disaster. Numerous local aid organizations have rallied to offer assistance, but there is still an immediate need for resources such as food, winter clothing, and shelter.

We, Turkish students and scholars at Iowa State University, are urging the global community to support recovery efforts through donations that will be directly transferred to Bridge to Turkiye organization which wires all funds to AHBAP Association, a well-known, well-run, reputable, and trusted organization in Turkiye. Updates on the campaign will be frequently shared on the donation page.

Bridge to Turkiye is advised by Prof. Dr. Aziz Sancar, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2015.

Your donations are %100 tax deductible.

All donations will be forwarded to the local organization (AHBAP) without any overhead. %100 of your donations will be used in the emergency.

Your support is critical and can make a difference for those affected by the earthquakes. Every contribution counts and will go towards recovery efforts. Please spread the word and show your support.

Please note all additional tipping during the donation is voluntary and will not be added to the donation to Bridge to Turkiye.

It is time for action and I am calling out to all my network to help me here. I'm raising money to benefit Bridge to Turkiye (a US registered tax-deductible charity) and by extension, their approved local civilian non-profit partner "Ahbap Platform" in Turkey to support the earthquake victims in Turkey. Any donation will help make an impact so nothing is too few or too little but we have set the bar high for this community.

To support the cause, I will be riding from Miami to Key West on Feb 17th - 18th with a select group of friends form the South Florida maritime community. This is a 168 mile / 270km ride, spread to 1.5 days.

Please share my link with all of your network, so the message can get amplified and spread around faster. Note that I will not touch your money as it will go directly to the recognized charities in US and Turkey. Many thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me!

**UPDATE**

Thank you all for your contributions and support. We are closing this fundraiser and you can continue showing your support from the following link. This is a fundraiser started by NYU Turkish Student Association and we are merging our fundraiser efforts.

***********************************************************************************

On February 6 at 4:17 AM local time, two devastating earthquakes of magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5 occurred in the southern part of Turkey, making it one of the deadliest disasters in the history of the country. In the first 24 hours, these earthquakes are followed by 280 aftershocks with varying magnitudes between 2.5 - 6.6. Around ten cities are catastrophically affected by the earthquakes, and people desperately need help. Besides, harsh winter conditions hamper efforts to find and accommodate the survivors.

As of now, there are around 32000 dead, 81000 injured, and 42000 buildings have now been reduced to rubble or heavily damaged. As NYU Tandon students, we set a goal to raise $10,000 to support the current humanitarian aid. The funds collected will be directly transferred to the Bridge to Turkiye Fund. This is a volunteer-run organization, raising $3,000,000 for the ongoing search and rescue efforts.

Please note that the additional tipping during the donation is optional and will not contribute to the donation amount.
