IN THE LATEST WAVE OF TERROR IN RUSSIA, A U.S. CHARITY REACHES OUT TO HELP VICTIMS AND LAUNCHES A DONATION DRIVE
Bensalem, PA – September 4, 2004 – The International Foundation For Terror Act Victims (moscowhelp.org) has initiated a national fundraising campaign to help the victims of the horrific terror act in Beslan, Russia. With nearly 400 dead and over 700 wounded, most of them children, this tragedy is Russia’s September 11th, and urgent financial assistance is needed to help alleviate the suffering of injured and orphaned children.
The Fund is the only international charity organization that is currently committed specifically to helping children of the Beslan tragedy. The Fund is run by a group of volunteers and incurs no administrative or other expenses related to personal donations. All money donated is delivered directly to victims’ families.
In the first full day since the donation drive was initiated on www.moscowhelp.org, the Fund has received over $95,000 in private online donations alone. However, much more is needed to provide effective assistance to an estimated 600 injured and orphaned children. In the words of the Fund’s President, Andrew Mogilyansky, “every parent in the world has got to donate to this cause”. The Fund also actively seeks corporate donors who are expected to make their donations after the long weekend is over.
Donors can make their contributions by check, credit card or wire transfer. Instructions for making a donation, as well as many ways to provide additional assistance, are posted on the Fund’s web site at www.moscowhelp.org.
The Fund has a proven track record of helping terror act victims in Russia. Originally established to provide assistance to the families of hostages who perished in the Moscow Nord-Ost theater siege terrorist act in 2002, the Fund has successfully completed that project with all donated funds fully distributed to victims’ families.
The Fund is a US 501(c)3 Public Charity. All donations are fully tax-deductible for US tax purposes.
