Help Recep get through 5 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Recep and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye1,383 views
Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $1,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $390
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $210
• Course fees and exam costs: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Recep?
Take care, Recep. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Da Nang.
Good luck, Recep. Shared it with a few friends.
Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope June is when things finally get easier.
Keep going. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
