How to help the Red Cross in the aftermath of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake and its aftershocks that hit southeastern Turkey and northern Syria on February 6 turned cities and towns into mountains of broken concrete and twisted metal. The death toll exceeded 35,000.

Now volunteers from organizations in North Texas come together to donate supplies and money for earthquake victims.
