Getting Ready to Get Ready for Winter

By Hande Uzun | Project Leader

Dear Friend,

I must admit 2013 was an amazing year for our project... As I mentioned on my previous email, in 2013 we delivered 1,819 pairs of boots and socks to 24 schools. And, when we ended our project for last year we had a great sense of accomplishment! Here is the real truth behind this accomplishment: you've made it happen! We've successfully completed last year's project as a result of your generous contributions to our cause and your endless support to our organization. So, we thank you once again for letting us reaching out to the rural areas in Turkey and helping the children in need.

Summer time offers an amazing opportunity for us and for our project to get ready for the coming winter. We have much bigger plans for this year! Having freezing cold feet while walking to shool or playing outside is something no child should have to endure. Therefore, our plan for this year's project is to reach out to more than 2000 children; and deliver their boots before December, 31st as a New Year's gift.

We have numerous foundraising events going on both here in the United States and also back in our home country, Turkey... As we ask you to support our cause here by spreading the word and by donating as small or as big as you can, our friends in Turkey will bike to raise funds for this year's campaign! Like us they only have one thing in mind: to reach out as many kids as possible this year and offer them a warmer season. So, today, once again, we remind you the valuable impact of your donation on a child's life... So, next time when you put on your shoes and go out for running, for biking or for hiking; remember last year your donation of a $15 dollars allowed a child to run, to bike and to hike to his school. All kids deserve to have warm feet in the cold season. Let's make it happen, together!

Kindly,

Hande Uzun
