Can you make a small sacrifice this week that will make a big difference to someone else? 

Giving up on a coffee or two or a drink in the pub - something you won't notice a week from now but that means so much more to someone in Turkey or Syria

Every minute counts in the desperate race to help people affected by the earthquakes. The church is rising up to respond. Please consider supporting my fundraising for this disaster today.

More than 30,000 people have lost their lives. Whole towns have been flattened. Tens of thousands of people whose homes have been destroyed are now at the mercy of a freezing winter.

Tearfund is responding now. Our church partner in Syria is providing vital supplies such as warm clothing, nourishing food and hygiene essentials. But the need is vast your support will make a crucial difference.

Our support will help provide warm clothing, nourishing food and hygiene essentials for people who have been affected by the earthquake. Every £125 that we raise could provide a month of food to keep a family strong and healthy.

If enough money is raised to respond to those affected by the earthquake, support may also be provided to people in the greatest need across the wider region.
