THE CAUSE: PROSTHETIC LIMBS

On the fateful morning of February 6th 2023, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake occurred in southern Turkey near the northern border of Syria. This quake was followed approximately 9 hours later by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake. Many lives were instantly changed from that day on. Hundreds lost homes, family members, colleagues and were seriously injured.

You will be fundraising for vulnerable people who have had limbs amputated to live a life without limits, and give them a renewed chance of life with prosthetic limbs.
