Campaign Story
We are currently in Turkey, and are still shocked by the magnitude of suffering and despair this natural disaster has brought upon the people, with 50.000 people dead and 7000 buildings destroyed.
Now, after the search and rescue missions are over, it is time to help the survivors.
We will soon travel to Gaziantep and Karamanmaras, which are the most affected areas within the Earthquake Zone in South East Turkey . We will rent a van and fill it with the most needed goods and products, such as food, toiletries, blankets, baby and children products, medication, if available etc. We will try to go to the remote towns and villages which are off the track of the main aid organizations and possibly difficult to reach. We will work with the local red cross (Türk Kizilay) and international agencies to understand where our help is needed and can be delivered to.
If you want to support our initiative we would be grateful if you could donate, either via Credit Card or PayPal. Every Euro, Dollar or Lira counts. We are all volunteers, all the donations will reach the affected to 100%.
Please follow our story here on GoGetFunding (click the Follow Button), share our project with your network and contact us in case of any questions. We will update the developments and our progress regularly.
Is your donation tax deductible? That depends on your country and local laws. We recommend to include the confirmation you received after your donation from GoGetFunding into your tax declaration, possibly with more information on the project (we will give regular updates on the website). Tax authorities then decide, if this is deductible or not.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPASSION !

We saw so much damage to so many houses, mainly in the city center - hundreds if not thousands of them cannot be used anymore and need to be torn down. Most of the collapsed houses have. . . . .
