Dear Supporters,
Thank you for your continued compassion and commitment to helping families affected by the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria. Your generosity has made it possible for us to respond quickly during the early stages of the crisis, providing emergency relief, food parcels, winter clothing, and temporary shelter materials to families who lost everything.
At this time, we want to share an honest update: due to a shortage of new donations, the project is currently paused, and we have no new distributions or activities to report. While the need remains high, our ability to move forward depends directly on the support we receive.
Even though months have passed since the earthquake, many communities are still struggling to rebuild their lives. Thousands continue to live in unstable housing, and families face ongoing challenges accessing basic necessities. The recovery process is far from over — and your support is just as critical now as it was on day one.
With renewed contributions, we aim to:
Restart distributions of food baskets, hygiene kits, and shelter materials
Provide assistance to families still living in damaged or temporary structures
Support long-term recovery efforts so communities can rebuild safely and sustainably
Your donation today can help us reactivate this vital project and continue standing with earthquake survivors who urgently need assistance.
Thank you for being part of this mission and for never turning away from people in their hardest moments.
