I send my greetings to all of you from Kahramanmaraş, the earthquake center of Turkey. I am Betül, 23 years old, a graduate of art teaching. I lost my house in the earthquake of February 6. My family was farmers but we had to sell our animals in the earthquake. We are currently living in a tent in the garden of a relative. We need your help to meet our needs. We sold our cows, which were our only assets in the earthquake, and now we have one cow and 3 small calves, but they do not give milk. my family is trying to survive on the milk of one cow.

The water here is freezing cold. We have limited opportunity to wash our clothes. My mother washes them by hand with cold water. And her arm was broken during the earthquake. We don't have a kitchen, we walk to the other tent to cook, we only have basic items such as pots and cups, these are not important, but when winter comes, even cooking is very difficult. It is already snowing and winter has arrived here. I miss the warmth of my home very much. I can't remember the memories we had in our old house, it feels like we were always in the cold and living in this small tent. Winters are cold in Turkey and ◦we live in Kahramanmaraş province which is an earthquake center. Our village is close to the mountains and winters are very cold. We need your help not to stay outside this winter. New Year is approaching and the weather is getting colder. We need to pay for the houses built for us. But my father has no job and we had to sell our cows. We would be very happy if you could support us a little bit. Thank you to everyone who has helped, we are grateful for your presence.

Love, Betul.
