Back on our feet: Hülya and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Istanbul
Hülya and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last January I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $700 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $350
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $180
Thank you for reading my story.
