Dear John,
By now you have heard the news that a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Turkey and Syria on February 6. Tens of thousands of people have lost their lives, and millions more are without adequate access to shelter, food, or water. The needs are far beyond the ability of local governments to meet, and calls have gone out for global humanitarian relief.
Donate now to help earthquake survivors meet essential needs.
AFSC has a long history of supporting community-led humanitarian assistance in areas not covered by larger government and relief agency efforts. We have long-standing work with Syrian refugees in the region, who are among the earthquake survivors.
Our team is putting plans in place to deliver essentials such as food, clothing, blankets, diapers, and more with local partners. Funds raised will be used for these emergency kits and to sustain our ongoing peacebuilding efforts with displaced people in the region.
I hope you will join us in responding at this critical time. Please support our emergency response with a generous donation today.
In peace,
