Fuel- The next best thing to Food, Water and Shelter

We have wonderful news for Turkey and Fuel Relief Fund. Although we are leaving Turkey this weekend, coal will continue to be distributed to help keep the elder, poor, and single mothers warm.

The Lions Club in Netherlands and others have donated generous funds to help the city of Van, Turkey.

The city’s nonprofit coordinator, the coal company,  and a Turkish English teacher along with communication from Fuel Relief Fund in the United States, have developed a plan to ensure that as long we continue to receive donations to fund this cause, all parties are happily willing to participate and work together to see Fuel Relief Fund’s free coal program continue.

The Vice Governor of Van wanted us to make sure to tell all Fuel Relief Fund volunteers, donors and America how much this means to him and the people of Van, Turkey.

This is also such a great step for Fuel Relief Fund as this will be the first time that our mission to provide fuel will continue after its staff has left a disaster zone.

All funds received will be earmarked for Turkey, and those funds will immediately be used to purchase and deliver coal to the elder, poor, and single mothers.

It will be a long winter for many in Van, but Fuel Relief Fund and all of the wonderful partners in Van are very willing and able to continue this program as long as donations continue to come in.

We cannot thank you enough for your support and compassion.
