Tax Deductible Donation

If you find yourself searching for a place to give a year end tax deductible donation that will be used to help people in need, then I have a recommendation.  The organization we are working for here in Istanbul has a system in place where people in the US can donate and it is tax deductible.

Earlier this week we composed a list of emergency medical procedures that our clients currently need, but money is not available for.  The listed added up to approximately $50,000 total.  The procedures cover many different things, everything from major heart surgery, to a mastectomy, to major reconstructive dental work.

In addition to medical procedures, our clients have many other needs. Here's a list of a sampling of client needs, along with the donation amount to take care of that need for one person/family:
$100 donation--assistance with rent
$75-- prescription medicine
$60--school uniform for a child
$50--groceries for 2 weeks
$45--bus ticket to and from Ankara for UNHCR interview
$40--baby stroller
$35--a tank of natural gas used to cook food
$30--winter jacket
$25--shoes
$20--pants
$15--winter hat
$10--scarf or gloves
$5--blanket
$2--a sandwich for lunch
$1--a bus/metro token to ride public transportation

Any donation small or big, can be used to help improve lives of those in need.

If you are interested in giving, send us an email:  ourturkishblog@gmail.com.  When you give, you can designate what you want the money to go for.
