We met Ayca at the onset of the Türkiye 🇹🇷 earthquake in 2023. She worked hard for @globalempowermentmissionmena Türkiye and then as a fearless woman expanded our missions into countries where women are suppressed. She empowered other women by showing leadership and freedom.
She’s done this in Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza and more.
This video shows our latest mission into Syria 🇸🇾. We sent three semi trucks of aid into the newly liberated areas that are now forgotten from the news cycles. Congrats Ayça on your new expanded role as Executive Director of our GEM Türkiye chapter. #syria #türkiye @andadernegi

Another devastating missile attack on Ukraine has resulted in at least 15 lives lost and significant damage to residential buildings and energy infrastructure across the country. In the central city of Poltava, a Russian missile struck a residential building, killing 11 people and injuring 16 others, including four children.
Our @globalempowermentmissionua team is on the ground in Poltava, assessing the damage and preparing to support affected families through our emergency window repair program.

Yesterday, our #GEM #BStrong LA branch team had the honor of supporting the incredible volunteer firefighters of Fillmore Fire Station 91—true heroes who selflessly put their lives on the line to protect their communities. These brave men and women were among the first responders to the #PalisadesFires, rushing in when others were rushing out.
Thanks to the power of Smart Partnerships, we were able to show them the gratitude they deserve. @royalcaribbean helped us purchase brand-new fire gear for 60 firefighters, ensuring they have the protection they need when facing the flames. Through @bethennyfrankel #Bstrong initiative, we provided $1,000 Bstrong Visa cards to these courageous first responders, offering direct financial relief. @stableroadfoundation stepped in to deliver additional critical supplies, and @jackeryusa provided solar generators—because even heroes need power when the lights go out.
At GEM Bstrong, we believe in doing more with less, making every dollar stretch further to create real impact. This is the power of Smart Partnerships—by uniting forces, we bring help faster, farther, and more efficiently than ever before.
To the firefighters of Fillmore Fire Station 91—we see you, we honor you, and we stand with you. Thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to protecting others.

LA County Wildfires 2-Week Recap: In the wake of devastating wildfires, our GEM BStrong teams were on the ground within 48 hours, delivering immediate relief. Families have lost homes, their personal belongings, and most of all security, and stability.
We continue to distribute Family Necessity Kits, food, water, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, PPE, and more. Partnering with Chef Cat Cora, we’ve served thousands of Chef-driven prepared meals to evacuees and survivors. Through our BStrong cash card program, we’re providing financial aid for immediate essentials like gas, groceries, and clothing.
We’re still actively supporting shelters, evacuation centers, and first responders with critical supplies. To assist displaced families, we’ve launched a short-term rental assistance program, helping them in securing temporary housing. Additionally, our Tool Replacement Initiative is helping skilled workers replace lost equipment and rebuild their small businesses and livelihoods.
Recovery will take time, but we are committed to uplift and empower these communities as they rebuild their lives.

North Carolina Update: When Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina 4 months ago, it left behind widespread devastation, impacting both the lives of residents and the region’s cultural legacy. #GEM #BStrong immediately mobilized.
Since then, we’ve remained committed to supporting recovery efforts in the region. To date, 23 trucks filled with vital resources have been delivered, and over 150 Starlink kits have been distributed to rural areas and first responders to restore connectivity. Through our partnership with Airbnb.org, we provided temporary housing for displaced families. Additionally, we have completed more than 30 helicopter missions to deliver supplies and assist with evacuations. In addition, we’ve supplied 28 skilled tradespeople with new tools to rebuild their livelihoods.
One of our most meaningful initiatives has been the Small Business & Artisan Relief Fund, which helps local entrepreneurs and artists recover from the storm’s destruction. So far, we’ve awarded grants to 79 businesses, funding essential needs such as relocating, rebuilding, and replacing equipment. These grants are making a lasting difference in the WNC community.

Chef @catcora joined forces with #GEM #BStrong to deliver fresh, chef-driven, nutritious meals for individuals and families who lost their homes in the LA County Wildfires. Through her partnership with @cookunity she is ensuring that those affected by the wildfires have access to fresh, prepared meals.
In 2004, Cat founded @chefsforhumanity one of the first chef-driven organizations focused on disaster response, hunger relief, and nutrition education. She received the Lifetime Achievement Award and Volunteer Service Award from President Obama.
Cat’s dedication to disaster response through food underscores the power of culinary talent in times of crisis. Cat Cora is a trailblazer in the culinary world, breaking barriers as the first female Iron Chef and the first woman inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame. #gem #bstrong #catcora #cookunity #chefsforhumanity
