Help Irmak get through 4 hard months with twin daughters
A single parent in Antalya needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Irmak retrains.

Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $220
Thanks for being kind about this.

how is Irmak doing now?
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Barcelona
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Thinking of Antalya.
Thinking of you and your family, Irmak. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Hang in there, Irmak. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Irmak. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Dhaka.
