We Would Like to Thank Our Readers and Heartfelt Friends

Dear Friends;

We carefully read all the letters and comments that were sent to our website.

Thank you very much for your interest.

Some of our readers, who sent messages via the contact form of our website, stated that they believed that the announcement of the donations was for a “show off.”

As is known, in democratic societies, everyone is free to express their opinion freely— as long as it does not contain insults. We welcome these comments. However, in order to avoid misunderstandings, we deemed appropriate to bring an explanation on this issue:

Pursuant to our much beloved, esteemed, benevolent deceased Salih Tatlıcı’s will to “help people,” Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı have done and continue to do much more than the charitable works featured on this website for years.

Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı, who have always felt the importance of solidarity and cooperation in our customs and traditions by their heart, have always strived to support all actions especially, aimed at the education of girls, protecting the nature, people with disabilities and anyone in need of help, the children who are victims of war, and the elderly, regardless of nationality, religion, race or geographical region. They will continue to lend their helping hands as a duty of humanity.

The announcements on this website are only some of the donations made by Nurten and Uğur Tatlıcı.

The sole purpose of publishing these announcements is to encourage our readers to do charitable works and to encourage them to give more help to such institutions, each of which is valuable to all people in need of help, without any discrimination, both in our country and all over the world.

As a matter of fact, as we read from some of the thank-you letters we received, we are very pleased to observe that some of our readers, who explore and watch the institutions we donate to, donate to the same institutions.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our readers and heartfelt friends.

We respectfully present it.

The Tragedy in Ukraine Breaks Our Hearts…

Dear Friends,

Unfortunately, innocent children suffer and pay the price— mostly unaware of what is happening in wars. Children playing games in their homes and studying at their schools are taken to the nearest shelters in an environment of great panic they encounter for the first time without realizing what is happening.

The looks in the images we see in different media outlets clearly describe fear, deprivation, and sadness. They leave behind bombed-out schools and nurseries. Children are now struggling to survive in cold winter conditions instead of playing in the streets and gardens. There are also children separated from their families. Babies born in a shelter are hope for everyone.

The children of Ukraine are now praying for peace…

Unfortunately, we cannot do anything but sincerely wish that the war will be over as soon as possible and the problem will be resolved by diplomatic methods, and the peace will come.

We respectfully announce to the public that we will continue our support for aid campaigns for Ukrainian children and other Ukrainians in need and most affected by the war and invite all our heartfelt philanthropist friends to support the Ukrainians in need.

Regarding our Remembrance Messages

To our distinguished friends:

As you know, we published commemorative messages in a national newspaper every anniversary of February 22, 2009, when the late Salih Tatlıcı passed away.

Starting from 2020, we decided to establish the practice of making cash donations to non-governmental organizations that exhibit the highest examples of social solidarity. These non-governmental organizations demonstrate the highest examples of social solidarity all over the world, especially in our country, operating in fields that have an important place in social life and need constant material and moral support, such as education, environment, health, protection of wildlife and seas, and fight against hunger.

Based on this decision, we respectfully submit to all our friends and the public that this year, which marks the 13th anniversary of the late Salih Tatlıcı’s passing, we continue to make donations to non-governmental organizations operating in various fields, as we mentioned above, instead of publishing a commemorative message in a newspaper, and we will continue to do so at every opportunity.

Late Salih Tatlıcı Commemorated on his 13th Death Anniversary

We miss you very much, my beloved spouse, my dear friend, our dear father,
meaning of our lives, who left us in deep pain and departed from this world,
whose absence we cannot get used to and whose absence make our lives empty.
 
You are always with us in our minds and hearts.
 
Not a day goes by we don’t think of you.
 
May Your Place Be Heaven, May Your Grave Be Filled with Light.
 
 
Nurten & Uğur Tatlıcı

Another Year Passed Without You…

We commemorate our precious husband and father, Salih Tatlıcı, who we have always
cherished and will always keep in our hearts since he passed away on February 22, 2009,
leaving us in great pain, with respect, love, and longing.
 
We miss our father and traveling companion in life, Salih Tatlıcı, very much, who is with us at
every moment of life with its bitter and sweet, does not spare us his support, sets an example
for us with his modest and humble life and outlook on life.
 
We will continue to walk in the footsteps of our father, Salih Tatlıcı. He has devoted himself
to charity throughout his life and has always been there for those in need with his
unconditional love and compassion until our last breath.
 
In 2022, our goal will be to continue charity work for people and areas that could always use a
helping hand, such as people with disabilities, environment, education, culture, and stray
animals, both at home and abroad.
 
The Covid-19 virus pandemic, which has negatively affected our country and the whole world
for two years, has taken away many of our people from the world. Many of our people
continue to struggle for their lives in hospitals. My son and I bow respectfully in front of all
healthcare professionals worldwide, especially in our country, who work with great devotion
and who we could never repay them.
 
We sincerely hope that 2022 will be a beautiful year when incurable diseases and virus
epidemics come to an end in our country and all over the world, and love, peace, and serenity
will reign again.
 
Happy New Years!
 
Nurten & Uğur Tatlıcı

Commemorative Anniversary Messages We Publish in the Newspaper
Every Year
 
Dear Friends;
 
As you know, we published commemorative messages in a national newspaper
every anniversary of February 22, 2009, when the late Salih Tatlıcı passed
away.
 
From this year forward, instead of publishing a commemorative message, we
decided to start the practice of making donations to non-governmental
organizations that operate in fields that have an important place in social life,
such as education, the environment, health, wildlife protection, and that need
constant material and moral support, and exhibit the highest examples of social
solidarity all over the world, especially in our country.
 
We will inform you, our esteemed friends, about our activities on this subject
from time to time.
 
We respectfully present it to all our friends and the public.
 
Nurten & Uğur Tatlıcı
