Let's build a repair café workshop together in Istanbul
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a repair café workshop - we need $500 for materials.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a repair café workshop. This year a group of 15 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Pioneer Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 525 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $500 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
• Permits and inspections: $65
• Materials: $385
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Ikeja.
Praying for you. Great idea, hope you get there. My neighbor in Chattogram donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Istanbul
Wishing you peace, Songül. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Sending strength, Songül. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Hope you get there. Greetings from San Fernando.
so sorry you're going through this, Songül. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Thinking of Istanbul
