The reason for starting this group fundraiser is to support the victims of the recent devastating earthquake in Turkey. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake caused widespread damage, injury, and death, and we believe that every penny counts in helping the affected communities recover. By working with Embrace Relief, we hope to bring awareness to the situation and gather support from people who want to make a difference in the lives of those impacted by the earthquake. As someone who is Turkish, I feel a strong connection to the affected communities and am motivated to take action to support them in their time of need.
