The Turkish-American community feels sad about the strong earthquake which struck Turkey with a 7.2 magnitude on Sunday. Currently, people in New York are trying to reach out to their family members, relatives and friends; however, the telephone system in the region is damaged and other circuits are jammed due to heavy phone traffic.
We extend our deepest condolences to the families of the victims who lost their loved ones, relatives, and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by this terrible earthquake. We ask God Almighty to give them relief and hope in the difficult days ahead. We wish for an earliest recovery, materially and spiritually.
Currently, the Turkish Cultural Center New York with its 9 centers in NYC, 12 centers in NYS and 24 centers in the East Coast region has already started a fundraising campaign for the families of the victims to rebuild their houses and provide with tents, blankets, food, water, and other needed supplies. We are collaborating with the Helping Hands Relief Foundation (www.hhrelief.org ) to send our donations to Turkey and many American friends, community, religious and business leaders and elected officials have responded quickly and offered help in any ways that they can.
