We're at 63%! Additionally, I have 17 days left until I need to pay the government. I'm not sure we'll reach our target, but I'm still grateful to all of you. Without your help and support, I wouldn't have been able to reach this far. Big thank you for each and every one of you! For those who don't know the story;
For those who don’t know my situation, here’s what’s going on: In Turkey, military service is mandatory. I have two options: a) Pay 275,000 Turkish Liras (about $7,150 USD) and serve for 26 days, b) Or serve 6 full months without pay.
If I’m gone for 6 months, I’ll lose my apartment, my cat Leo, and my YouTube channel, which is my only source of income. Without that, I won’t be able to take care of Leo or continue helping the stray cats I support.
I’m genuinely overwhelmed by the love and support you’ve shown me. You’ve lifted me up not just financially, but emotionally too. Your kind words, prayers, encouragement, and the way some of you even searched for other ways to help touched me more deeply than I can express. Honestly, not even my own family has done what you’ve done for me. That means more than I’ll ever be able to put into words. In a world that often feels cold and indifferent, your support reminded me that kindness still exists. There are good people out there; you are proof of that.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for caring. Thank you for simply being you.
I still need to gather $2,650 more. If we can’t raise the full amount through donations, I’ll be taking a loan—but thanks to you, I’ll be able to keep going. Because of your support, I won’t have to stop what I’m doing… and most importantly, Leo and I won’t be separated.
