As most of you have heard, there's been a massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Gaziantep, Turkey. And it hit 10 provinces in Turkey like Antioch, a city that still has Orthodox Christians and many cities in Syria.
I would highly encourage you to donate. Even a minuscule 1 dollar donation is good due to the devaluation of the Turkish currency. F.e a pack of 6 1.5 liter water bottles is less than 1.5 USD in Turkey. Which means even a 5 USD donation can save not just one but multiple lives in need of help.
Links below are from reliable sources like the Turkish red crescent, AHBAP, and the Antiochian Orthodox Church whom are all organizations I can personally vouch for. Also those who go to an Antiochian Orthodox Church should expect their church on sunday to open up donations for the relief efforts for Orthodox Christians in Syria at the very least.

Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. On December 23rd, 2020, Pavel Durov posted to his channel that the company would need to start generating revenue. In early 2021, he added that any advertising on the platform would not use user data for targeting, and that it would be focused on “large one-to-many channels.” He pledged that ads would be “non-intrusive” and that most users would simply not notice any change. One thing that Telegram now offers to all users is the ability to “disappear” messages or set remote deletion deadlines. That enables users to have much more control over how long people can access what you’re sending them. Given that Russian law enforcement officials are reportedly (via Insider) stopping people in the street and demanding to read their text messages, this could be vital to protect individuals from reprisals. The gold standard of encryption, known as end-to-end encryption, where only the sender and person who receives the message are able to see it, is available on Telegram only when the Secret Chat function is enabled. Voice and video calls are also completely encrypted.
