Back on our feet: Songül and four children in İzmir
Songül and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇹🇷 İzmir, İzmir, Türkiye1,760 views
Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Rent top-up: $580
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Rooting for you, Songül. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Sending strength, Songül. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Arusha donated after I showed her your page
Good luck, Songül. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Sending strength, Songül. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
wishing you the best. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Nagpur
