NYU Turkish Student Association—Earthquake Relief
Dear friends and community members,

The Turkish Student Association at New York University would like to extend our deepest sympathies to those affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey. The disaster has caused immense loss and hardship for many families and communities, and we stand in solidarity with them during this trying time.

We are reaching out to you today to request your support in our efforts to provide aid to those in need. As a student organization, we are committed to helping in any way we can and believe that even the smallest contribution can make a significant difference.

We are asking for your generosity in making a donation to aid relief efforts in Turkey. Your contribution will help provide essential supplies, shelter, and support to those affected by the earthquake.

We understand that times are challenging for everyone, but any amount, big or small, will make a difference. Your support will not only make a tangible impact but will also show the affected communities that they are not alone in this difficult time.

Thank you for considering our request for support. We appreciate your generosity and stand in solidarity with the people of Turkey.

All proceeds will go directly to the Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF).

Sincerely,

The Turkish Student Association at NYU.

Build a School in Quake Stricken Hatay, Türkiye
It’s been half a year since Hatay, a mesmerizing and lively city in Turkey faced an upheaval. An earth-shattering earthquake not only left scars on the city but also deeply wounded the hearts of its residents. The quake brought down buildings, snatched away homes, and Hatay’s schools were no more.

Our mission is to construct a new school in Hatay. Not a structure made of bricks and mortar but a powerful symbol of resilience and hope.

To achieve this goal, we're launching a campaign in collaboration with the Turkish Philanthropy Fund. All funds raised will be entrusted to the Turkish Women Physicians’ Association to Support Education (KAHEV), an organization that personifies unwavering commitment and passion for education. They will ensure that every single penny is utilized to provide Hatay’s children with a hearted and nurturing environment where they can learn, dream, and thrive.

By offering an opportunity for children to pursue their aspirations, enabling teachers to inspire and ignite interests, and revitalizing the spirit of a city; you are contributing to the preservation and enhancement of culture, history, and education in Hatay. With your support, we can make Hatay shine more brilliantly than before.

Together We Build: Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund
Please select a sticker as a way of us saying thank you at the link below. Thank you for taking a moment to visit my support page! My name is Burçin Nalinci, a Turkish-born, American that lives in Kansas City, MO. The two earthquakes that struck Turkey and Syria back-to-back on February 6th have been very hard. Watching the news break, counting the lives lost, and seeing orphaned children rescued from rubble piles has been heartbreaking. Coming back from this is going to take long years and communities coming together to recover from it. The scale of the destruction is so large that it is hard not to feel hopeless. In my darkest of times in the past weeks, I was reached out by some of my closest friends and reminded that togetherness brings hope and community becomes the means to support the ones that need it the most. If you have received this thread, you have been a part of my community. I am reaching out to you to support me in contributing to the efforts of the Turkish Philanthropy Funds in helping the communities affected by the Kahramanmaras earthquake. Check out their website for more information on their long and short-term projects and transparency with their action items. Many thanks to Creative Coatings for supporting this cause and in making the stickers for this fundraiser. Your donations will get you a sticker of your choice that is designed by me and made with our friends at Creative Coatings! Please select a sticker as a way of us saying thank you at the link below.

Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund
Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund:

Sisters and brothers, I am calling upon your healing energy and positive intentions to bring hope and miracles to those impacted by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 10 different Turkish cities. The area where most of the cities were wiped into dust is the same size as the state of California. Over 20 million people lived in those cities. This is an ongoing humanitarian disaster where we simply must do what we can to help.

Please give what you can by clicking the link below. There is very little each of us can do, but we must do it. Together we are a mighty force for good in the lives of the earthquake victims.

The earthquake directly impacts around 25 million people. The death number is raised to 150,000, however, the actual number could be far higher, even in the millions. There still are immediate needs, such as tents and heaters, and for over a month, the stench of death and disease has taken over. Floods and other disasters are impacting the already traumatized people of the region, with innocent children in the middle of it, and suffering the most.

Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund is working to provide immediate relief to survivors in the form of food, shelter, water, and medicine. In addition, we will provide longer-term assistance to help residents recover and rebuild. Your contributions will go to Turkish Philanthropy Funds' "Afet Platformu," which is directly involved in Kahramanmaras and its neighboring towns to help victims recover from the devastating effects of the earthquake and the necessary rebuilding efforts.

There is a need for rebuilding and humanitarian aid in the entire region. International and national support workers are speechless at what they have seen and urge you to help.

We together are part of the solution. All of your donations here will support the TPF Kahramanmaras Earthquake Relief Fund and recovery efforts. We monitor the impact on affected communities and work with partners at Afet Platformu to allocate funds to where they are needed most. In time I will be sharing with you the progress happening through your support.

When you donate to Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund, your donation will be used to:

Provide food and emergency medical supplies to people and animals

Support temporary relief and emergency supplies for displaced families

Provide support to front-line workers, like volunteers of our partner organizations

Meet other needs that emerge

I will personally update donors from Turkey.

Please donate now, any amount of $ will make a difference. Together, we can show up for one another and rise in healing and hope. Thank you very much for your support.

Help Turkey earthquake rescue & recovery
The February 2023 Earthquake in Southeastern Turkey has caused massive destruction and heartbreaking devastation in the region. I'm raising money to benefit Turkish Philanthropy Funds, which funds several NGOs directly on the ground, and any donation will help make a direct impact.

Furthermore, I will be personally matching donations up to $1,500. My contribution will then be matched by my employer, which means that your donation will have a triple impact.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause which means so much to me.

Turkish Student Association at UC San Diego is fundraising
UCSD Turkish Students Earthquake Relief Fund
We, the Turkish Student Association and Turkish Undergraduate Organization at UC San Diego, ask you to give generously and support efforts to help people who were directly impacted by the recent devastating earthquake.

Last Monday, February 6th, Turkey was struck by two deadly earthquakes of magnitudes 7.8 and 7.5 (USGS), the most catastrophic disaster to hit Turkey in decades. As of February 10, more than 19,000 people are confirmed dead, and the death toll is expected to rise. Not only that, more than 12,000 buildings have collapsed, and many of them are no longer inhabitable. Large areas spanning 10 cities are completely devastated with no access to food, electricity, or medical services. As a result, thousands were left homeless in extreme winter conditions and 14 million people are in need of urgent assistance.

Since the moment the earthquake hit, many local aid and support organizations have mobilized and are trying to rescue and provide aid to the earthquake victims. There is a pressing need for immediate actions and resources such as food, winter clothing, and shelter.

All proceeds go directly to the Turkish Philanthropy Funds, which works closely with the AHBAP Association, a well-known and reputable non-profit grasshopper organization, to support disaster victims. Even the smallest donation can make all the difference in the long and testing aftermath ahead of families, friends, and loved ones in Turkey.

We are grateful to all who extend a helping hand.

DONATE TODAY: Help Southeastern Turkey & Syria!
My heart goes out to all those who were heavily impacted by the earthquakes in Southeastern Turkey & Syria on Monday, Feb, 6th.

Right now, like many Turkish-American folks, I am feeling helpless, heartbroken, and sad--especially as my family is from Adana (and I am extremely lucky and grateful that everyone is okay and safe!).

However, we can't say that for the majority of Turks and Syrians that are living in the area. As we see the death toll keeps rising day-by-day (as of Feb. 10th, 22,000+ people have died due to this natural disaster) and right now the weather conditions are harsh and extremely cold in that region, which is causing more strain for all those who have already been displaced and their homes destroyed due to the earthquakes.

Survivors need shelter, food, and all the resources they can get right now and the fastest way for people to help overseas (especially Americans) is by raising money and sending funds to orgs that are helping.

The US Dollar is extremely powerful right now: $5 = 95TL. And if you donate $50, that's close to 945 TL!

It can be overwhelming to know the best organizations to donate to, especially when folks don't know or understand the region, culture, or resources that are already available in the area. Plus, there are already so many amazing and different organizations that have been on the ground helping since the earthquakes happened.

That's why I'm choosing to raise money to benefit Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF) because all contributions that are donated to TPF will go to vetted NGOs such as AKUT Vakfi, Ahbap, ACEV, TOG, İhtiyaç Haritası, TEGV--who are helping folks right now, at this very second.

Any donation, EVEN A DOLLAR, will help make an impact and help Turks & Syrians in the region. Please help me raise $10,000 for TPF to support and help the victims & survivors of these tragic earthquakes.

Much love & gratitude,

Gulsun (Gu) Cavusoglu

Help Turkey get through the massive earthquake!
Hi all,

My name is Fundagül and I am from Hatay, Turkey. The southeastern part of Turkey, including my hometown, has fallen apart in a matter of a couple of days due to a massive earthquake. I am devastated beyond words to see the neighborhood I grew up in is in ruins now. People have lost their homes and have to stay outside in cold weather with their families and friends still not found under the collapsed buildings. The scale of the situation is too bad to handle with the help of my government only. The people are short of supplies and volunteers to help them save.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Turkish Philanthropy Funds, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
