Back on our feet: Emre and two young children in Istanbul
Emre and two young children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,248 views
Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $850 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $260
• Rent top-up: $480
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Emre
Small update. $30 so far, I made the first payment toward rent top-up.
Update from Istanbul: the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Take care
