On Monday, February 6th a 7.8 magnitude earthquake devastated the area around Gaziantep, Turkey on the Syrian / Turkish border. We want to help however we can.

Since we heard the news (we’ve been in the US to exhibit at NYNOW) our hearts have been in Turkey. Thankfully, we’ve been able to confirm that our immediate direct network of friends, family and collaborators are safe.

Starting now we will be donating 25% of all sales online to immediate disaster relief funds & organizations. We are also accepting direct donations via our website (please see the ‘product’ below). 100% of these donations will be redirected to AKUT, a volunteer-based search & rescue organization that is actively on the ground in Turkey; and the TPF’s Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund, which disburses funds to local organizations providing critical disaster relief.

We’re devastated and know that this is just the beginning of relief efforts. We will keep you all informed as we learn more and can provide more information. Thank you to everyone who has reached out to us and to all who join us in donating to aid organizations in Turkey. We join you in our sorrow, concern and devastation at this tragedy.

Love,

Allie & Güven Arpaci
