SUMMARY:Community Event: Help for Victims of Earthquake in Southern Turkey
DESCRIPTION:The people of Turkey are in urgent need of help after a major earthquake struck on February 6\, 2023. Rumi Forum is supporting the relief efforts of Embrace Relief. Donate today to help the victims and rebuild in the aftermath. \n \nEmbrace Relief has launched an aid campaign to meet the urgent needs of the victims of the devastating February 6\, 2023 earthquakes\, and to help support the rebuilding efforts of the people of southern Turkey. Please help us in healing the wounds of earthquake victims. \nA series of powerful earthquakes struck southern Turkey in the early morning hours of Feb. 6\, 2023. These quakes have caused the widespread destruction and collapse of buildings\, with likely thousands of deaths and many thousands more injuries in Turkey and northwestern Syria. The epicenter of the quake was in the Pazarcık district of Kahramanmaraş\, and tremors were felt intensely in the surrounding provinces and cities such as Kahramanmaras\, Hatay\, Osmaniye\, Adıyaman\, Gaziantep\, Şanlıurfa\, Diyarbakır\, Malatya\, Kilis and Adana. Embrace Relief has launched an aid campaign to meet the urgent needs of the victims of the devastating Feb. 6 earthquakes\, and to help support the rebuilding efforts of the people of southern Turkey. Please help us in healing the wounds of earthquake victims. \n* You can also double your support for the people of Turkey by asking your company about Employer Matching Donations. Companies of all sizes will often match donations to a charitable 501(c)(3) organization like Embrace Relief on a 1:1 (or 2:1 or even 3:1) basis\, as part of their corporate social responsibility. So ask your company today about making a matching donation to Embrace Relief’s Turkey Earthquake Relief\, and together we can save even more lives.
