Emel A.

The sea's depth absorbs the fury of the storm within its bosom, preventing it from ravaging the shore.

Humanity flourishes with kindness, regardless of the season. Let the hearts tremble alone and helpless no more, May the first ember fall into the heart to herald the joyful springs to come!

Haktan was a special gift to me, my son, and for him, six months ago, we named him "Haktan" with the late title, after he turned 13 a few months after his father's passing.

He is a special child, very intelligent but equally introverted. Since the diagnosis of Atypical Autism, he has continued his education through the shadow teacher program as an inclusion student. With the efforts of his sister, a university graduate whom we pay to accompany and guide him, both his class teacher and shadow teacher, we have come a long way.

Until our father suddenly passed away in 2023, he would find ways to support Haktan's education, ensuring better opportunities for him to progress. His loss brought not only financial difficulties but also a spiritual downturn to my son. Now, our sole income consists of a meager retirement pension from our late father and Haktan's disability allowance, with the presence of Allah and good people in our region being our greatest wealth.

Next year, when my son moves to a new school and environment in the fifth grade, his need for education with a shadow teacher will end by the end of the 2025 academic year, according to the planned program, God willing.

We became aware of our situation and our struggle for our child through a letter written by a volunteer teacher, titled "Support My Son," and later, in our in-depth research, we saw that, after losing his father, Haktan personally participated in the financial aspect of the work to prevent this effort from going to waste.

Dear Esin, hopefully, Haktan will study and, when the time comes, he will be a teacher who values education and, furthermore, human virtues, just like you.

Until he freely flies like a bird on this path alone, we are with you every step of the way.
