I am raising money for an organization I am connected with in Turkey called EMEL (“Hope”). We will be designating the funds to support Syrian refugees staying in Turkey, and trying to prevent them from taking the dangerous journey to Europe. The organization’s website (in Arabic) is here: https://emel2015.wordpress.com/ Since 2014, EMEL has been registered in Turkey and provides medical, housing, legal, and other basic support to Syrian refugees, and also some limited support to individuals remaining inside Syria. EMEL is entirely reliant on small donor funds. Because the organization is not based in the US, we cannot easily get a tax receipt for donations, but if you would like your money to go to a local organization with very low overhead, run by passionate Syrian refugees, please consider giving to this worthy cause.
