For the plans ah ah. Life on the streets. Over the past years, the number of unhealthy people in turkey has risen sharply. In istanbul, volunteers the fighting to provide at least the bare minimum vanished as much if i dont do it. Who well, i used to live on the streets here about stuff with us and the government. That what government dont mean me, laughs in turkey on housed people can expect little help from the states, often volunteers or their last hope in it. Whether if you remember doing good father, this is very important to people who they are, but even this is just handing elsie for islam teaches us to treat people with kind, bass and charity, other than oscar and cognition. This old postal track has become wister for fuzzy, carmens mo bile kitchen. The 31 year old is a devout muslim and associates just specialized in poverty and homelessness. Ah, but it must furnace. Not only means not having a roof of your head window, its an entirely different way of life. Its accompanied by social, marginalization and loneliness. You cant simply talk to other people about your problem, so, so trouble logging me about it. She says that going to settle the food is donated 7 days a week, must have her picks it up from the campaign and assemble. He never knows what will be on the menu that day. His father founded the organization some 10 years ago. Its called the shana, which his turkish for soup kitchen. To day only the found his son is on the road. Hes running late, the traffic in is stumble, has held him up, knowing that so many people are waiting for him, makes him nervous. Good are no longer father gets gums once i arrived later than usual. An unhealthy gentleman approached me and told me that the food we brought was the only meal he cat. Each day. He asked us to never be late again. Were may, you ought to at least warn him if we were going to be sure to have it. It really shook him up. If julius rachel sat returning the food is distributed in the inner courtyard of a mask in the fattest District Across the street. Nice. The city hall, which is just as uninvolved as the state itself. As mister for pulls up, there seems to be trouble. Once again as so often nightly, turkish, and house people and migrant on house people have got into an argument or show oliver good thing. Youre here, you should see those 2 over there, around the 16th, not on tell me, im not supposed to give them any food and they need to go to the very back of the line that theyve been arguing for over half an hour to week is what im like though its just 2 men from. Busy can you deal with them yourselves . What do you want me to do . I have it will only i glue some 200 people wait here every evening. More and more refugees are among them. In turkey, sentiments towards migrants have increasingly solid, as many believe they are being favored over the local population. But mister fer doesnt care who comes here or why i was a judge. Could i please have you are noodles . Sure, no problem and palmer from yahoo and we are through the controller. Sorry. Its not arranged. The food is very tight told. Thank you. I must have her tells us that poverty is one of the largest drivers of homelessness here, drugs and alcohol, unless of a problem than in western europe to day hums. That has come to help. Hes been living on the streets for years and has volunteered here for quite some time. This is also gonna help out because i too am affected by homelessness. And i want to do something good for the community. Like the trouble. It keeps me busy and i hope it will help me find my way by surrounding me with good people and teach me to learn from my mistakes. All of you built the folder without the looks good. Honda has made plenty of mistakes in and from as hell tell us later for to day he and mister for a finishing up. Its time to move on to the next district where more a waiting for a warm meal, you know, go with it. Ah, a stumble. The city that straddles 2 continents, tourists appreciate its beauty and liveliness. But in the past years, poverty has been on the rise, exacerbated by Economic Crises and a growing number of migrants around 18000000 people live here. And there are no where near enough jobs to go around. Its a slippery slope from unemployment to homelessness. And here on the bus for us, its easy to lose ones footing. And the government refuses to accept responsibility. I sure experienced this 1st hand raised in berlin. She was a young woman when she came to turkey, where her husband forced her into prostitution. She made it out that she had to sleep on the streets in the district of bay alou. She now runs a little cafe. Unhealthy people can get a free meal. Here. I shall see. This is her lifes work. Almost every one here knows ayesha whether from her times in need or now as a helper there, impressed that. Come on just one more picture, the shops closed today. Dont go back then. Nobody was that to help her. She still dealing with the wounds that inflicted them back then i couldnt find any food each other was nobody i could talk to and i had to hide the fact that i didnt have a home to be open with you. I have to do things like where the same underwear for 38 days in a row fellow. Today shes meeting shuler, a volunteer at the cafe. The to a going to buy groceries for the week. Theyre heading towards the market in the district of tyler bussey. Its a simple part of town with mostly low income households. I should come here to shop because the price is lower than at the supermarket. Oh hi. How are you today . Can i please have 5 your past or one of our shaneka youve got a thin, flat bread. Thats the foundation of many turkish dishes. But todays prices take ayesha back on phone call. Well, not in the beginning of the corona virus pandemic was one kilogram with 5 pieces of ranch cost 8. 00 laira. Now 5 piece is cost 15. 00, narrow the iraq. Thats quite them aka. As a toilet in the past, mom, this price is in turkey, have shot up. Meanwhile, the turkish lira has become weaker and weaker. In these circumstances, many havent been able to afford food and rent. I dont want to let you know what you know. It reminds i sure of the time she spent on the streets, she would often go to market and gather leftovers from the ground or search garbage cans for whatever was still edible. My bill, her 2 by make the move. I 8 old bread thrown away at burger king or mcdonalds, or left next to the ash been at the hospital, the service. And yeah, thats what i survived on. Id say for about 4 and a half months, almost finished the leftovers that you didnt want that you thought didnt taste good, but thats what i age. His lift up the service because the fact that prices have nearly doubled in such a short time, even here at this market is becoming a bigger and bigger problem for ayesha and her team at the cafe. Ah janice for exams on the prices keep going off. This we get by thanks to donations home phone number, people help us as best they can look at how long will they still be able to help with this struggling to get by themselves. You know longer than i, she has an important appointment coming up next week. Shell make a public appearance and tell her life story to attract new sponsors. Shes going to need them in order to keep the cafe running. A stumble has the highest population of all turkish cities. Nobody quite knows how many on housed people live here. Some 10000. 00 or estimated the government keeps no official census on the matter and has otherwise also remained widely passive when it comes to helping those on the streets. Every 3 months, those in need receive about 25. 00 euros. Thats just enough to buy one cup of tea a day. Temporary shelters are also provided. Sometimes, mostly in large holes. We me tanser again whom wed 1st met while he was working with muster to beat the cold at night. He often spends hours wandering through the eye. Yup. Sultan district. Many islamic saints are buried here. Living on the streets has brought him closer to islam. To a little over here, the gravestones, i feel safe and i can learn about the lives of these st. So then i will leverage all the descriptions, tell me how they lived over the years, which trials they had to overcome. Hello there. Hello la song, chicken hands. They used to lead an entirely different life. He was the owner of a small textile business. But when his tax adviser cheated him out of a large sum of money, comes a shot at him and went to jail. To day he says hes a different person. In part, thanks to muster far is reasonable. Ive watched him fight for people without making any distinctions. That is so well. Thats when i told myself it was time for me to change. Now im trying to find my place in society, give me global, literally give me just given his past. Its been hard for him to get back on his feet in turkey. He cant find a job and he cant find a home. For now, he sleeps in the courtyard of a small mask. The mom has permitted him to lie down here for a few hours each night. As long as hes gone before the 1st morning, prayers. Every thing he owns is stowed in a bag toilet though it galion was culturally shady resumes. Commotion. What a lot. You leave the toilet unlocked so i can use it. Deletion 0. They get, they know i wont break anything till monday or so. Well, when i leave the morning due, so i take extra care to leave everything clean and in good order was out of the michigan over. I dont want the community to fill imposed upon the russel dumas so she will secondly of motion. Him come to him. Whereas the mask will remain empty until the Early Morning hums. I must brace himself for another cold night in its grounds, and yet hes grateful. Its still better than sleeping in the park. Ah, mister fi is also worried about how harsh the winter is becoming low and he and his father have rented Storage Space where they collect used close some blankets there sorely needed in the past years, several on house people died of cold muster for knew some of them personally goose live up. This blanket is the only thing stopping some people from freezing to death danielson, but often one blankets isnt enough to dazzle at home. We also grab a 2nd blanket even when the heater is turned up. I was with daniel ramos to cover for that. You must murmur. In the coming days, he plans to distribute blankets to those on the streets. But today he has different plans in the cans in kind of a kia quarter. A number of Refugee Families are living precariously must defer, and other volunteers bringing them some basic necessities to day. Hes visiting a syrian family. Another muster for has brought them coal for heating. The family is going to need it to get through the winter. They dont have a heater just a small oven. Hi, how are you . Looking well, well, thanks. Whats your name . Muhammad. My names mr. Far along with this family has been living in turkey for 5 years. The father is a french teacher, like many refugees here. He struggles to earn some money as a day laborer, but that isnt nearly enough to make ends meet. Jeron, how high as the rent, maria judah, as for how much money, dont go ramble hostels, 900. 00 lire. Could you . The apartment is very old and drafty askew. The windows arent sealed properly, they are more choked. Okay, of course, there are better apartments available so much good. Im about. We could never afford them. The keel is done. Will you only be one among thousands of similar cases . This family too, has spent nights on the streets. You must have foresees this as proof that the governmental agent, even with the e u migrant fund, is nowhere near enough to the turkish population. Refugees of the scapegoats to blame for hardships to the turkish government, their pawns in a political chess game loose on their way with didnt get to them. We dont want to leave these people to the whims of states and government john mitchell, where we are here to help me is that officer, my libby blankets and some encouragement cluster. I think this is a blessing for society and an opportunity of marianella demo. Blue met, begin cham solidarity as a blessing and opportunity. Not only for others, but also for ones own personal growth. Not many see things the way must have her does. Ah, ah, people often say is gone. Bull is a city that never sleeps at night. Some are busy at work while others venture out to experience the night life. Others still dont even know where they can sleep tonight. In turkey, its the communities that are responsible for carrying for their homeless. In istanbul, this job would fall to die, roll at u. Z translated, it means the poor house. The organization was founded almost a 150 years ago during the ottoman empire. To day it runs several reception centers. Throughout his stumble, the cities social democratic administration, does more for an housed people than past administrations have, at least according to its head, was added to our unit in your personal printer to social workers. Keep telling us that turkish families look out for each other, talk yoked at us, but what you see behind me are the results of broken homes and migration from anatolia, the search of a better life related to civil, youll be on call. Good call. We spent 3 months an attempt at the i was at the show as a god called her, we became scared of the children felt ill and they didnt have any warm clothes. People can only spend a maximum of 6 months in is stumbles, city shelters. After that they have to leave regardless of whether they found work or not. Many say they dont want to risk losing whatever space they found for themselves. So they prefer staying outside i sure is skeptical about public aid, even though its improved, its still not enough. Thats why she founded her initiative in 2017. With the help of another organization. The concept is simple. During the day, its a normal cafe. At night it becomes a center for an housed people. They currently serve about a 150. 00 meals a day. As more and more keep coming i, she says she can tell more help is needed then is that if i dont do it, who will love . I used to not have a home either for fun and the government register the government, the law. What a joke that the turkish state doesnt recognize homelessness, not rosa, which im we used to go and visit those same governmental buildings to talk about homeless quito. But we were told none were registered to your mother or wherein earth we supposed to register them. Us. So its up to you. Yes. To day a group of Young Students is helping out. Theyd learned about the cafe through social media. I should story has made them think. Oh edge roman london. Most of us are struggling to get by to look than i mean, nobody has the time to take a look around. Every one is so preoccupied with themselves that goes in Latino Society needs to learn that many people habit, far worse than modern, but hardly any one ever. Notices. Due to corona virus restrictions on housed guests are currently not allowed to eat indoors. Instead, everything is packed up and handed out. I should takes great care to ensure the food is fresh, has plenty of veggies and is always a little spicy that helps against the cold. She says that fish as id never serve anything that i wouldnt eat myself. Its always warm. Skin was a warm meal. Bombs, just like moms cooking. Dozens are already waiting outside the cafe. I sure and her team ask us to put our camera away. Some he never told their families where they were going. They simply opted vanished in just 20 minutes. Every one has got a meal. For some, this is the only food theyve had all day. Meanwhile, the busy night life around them continues, unfolded. People here have become accustomed to the sight of poverty. This indifference pains ayesha. She still feels that same stinging sensation of being invisible. Her work at the cafe she tells us is also a way for her to process what she went through. I sure how do you feel after daylight this or i feel good to le zabel. I feel very good as well. Not samantha sloan. I know that 142 people got dinner tonight, but come home and now have a warm meal in their bellies. Her lava says, in a few days, shell be visiting a convention where she hopes to find more sponsors for her cafe yoko. You may go over. What gives her the strength and motivation to carry on. Why has she dedicated her life to serving and housed people . The answer takes us far to the southeast of turkey, to the city of garcia and tech home to an estimated to 1000000. Many move here from is stumble to escape poverty, few ever succeed. This is where i she has spent her short childhood before enduring the, unspeakable. When she was 9, her uncle raked her over the course of several months. It was the end of her childhood. She says, years later, she was forced into prostitution. When her husband sold her to a pimp, this was also where she lost her home. Whenever she visits gaussian tip, shes haunted by her past, like as the goblin. You linelle k wouldnt even sell me, brett here. Very difficult dish will because of your past them . Yes, because of my past when i run their muscles comfortable, much. Oh, forgot it. Whenever i she comes to gaussian tap, she picks up some things for her restaurant in his stumble. Because shes most interested in bringing regional spices back to the boss, boris m. O hermiston center, she is or what love to learn, a little of, i am for long, some of the shop owners still know what i used to do and what i do now. They are happy to see me, which friends are sin. Uh, but if i were to come here every day and buy groceries, they would cast sideways glances at me. Often. They wouldnt accept me. As i said, we join, i shall on her way to shave camille, a district of gaussian tip. He a new building sprawl. Crowding out much of what eustace dante, including an old brussel, it was one of 7 across turkey in which i sure was abused for years. I. She refuses to even set foot on the property. Men should guess the male guests would come in through the entrance with him and gape at us as if we were in a new, in humble song. Paul, wed stand at the window like in the red light district in hamburg, and theyd stand at the window to yvonne out of the. Im fleming. We stood there like flamingos on one leg. Im from 10 in the morning from for a law until 11 at night. Say it was awesome, but i went through a lot of escape was out of the question for ayesha and the other women trapped there. The pimps kept a close watch on them. Forced prostitution is not rare in turkey. Yob middle school, they forced themselves upon us was in whatever fantasy they had that they couldnt live out at home in their marriage, goals they would enact with us i if you add it up and it was clearly right. Right. Each client us that came meant another rate garza hutton maria, and who protected us be apples. Nobody this is when i she was born.
