I want to get rid of violence and work and study

Hello,

Please listen to my story first.

I live in Turkey. As far as I can remember, I have been exposed to violence since I was 6.7 years old, physical and psychological violence. My mother exposed me to this for many years.

When using physical violence, sometimes my arms would be purple, and sometimes there would be traces in my throat that someone was trying to kill me by strangling me. Sometimes sticks would break on me. The biggest psychological violence was being locked in a dark cellar with mice, lizards and spiders and staying there for a long time without food.

When he was 11, 12 years old, my father started to use physical violence. The beatings I took with a belt for hours, the fact that I was dragged on my hair from the garden of my house to my home for many times. My eyes were blue and I couldn't go to school for a month and many more.

What I remember the most is that two years ago, when I was 19, he beat me because I wanted to go to my friend who lived in a neighborhood away, and my mouth still does not open more than two fingers because of the punch he threw on my chin, and sometimes I have to be fed with liquid food for months and he did not even take me to a doctor. He said he did it because I did it.

Last year I won the architecture department for the university. I was a 100% scholarship student, all he had to do was pay the registration fee, but he didn't and said that I would never go to university. And because of him, none of my relatives helped me. Schools were providing online education because of Covid-19, I couldn't even get my education online because I didn't even have a computer. I resisted for 2 months and attended the classes on my phone, but I could not see any of the details of the big pictures on the small screen and could not continue the lessons. I couldn't get the materials for the lessons because I didn't have money. Since I didn't even have a desk at home, I did some homework on the floor by force.

Please give me a chance to live. I need you.

I really resisted for a long time, but I couldn't continue. Today I want to go to school. I have to pay registration fee again and I have a lot of expenses: plane ticket, documents, computer etc. I have to make this money and go to school before my registration is deleted. This could be my right to education and my last chance at life. Please help me.

I'm fighting alone for the most human thing, like studying and living in the 21st century. I begged my mom and dad many times, but neither gave a penny. They do not want me to do even the most humane things in life, as it is not enough that they spoil my health psychologically and physically. Going to this school will change my life and I will study and work at the same time.

My brother is going to high school and he is still exposed to the things I was exposed to. I learned to stand up to myself, but I can't stand his situation anymore. You will not only help me, you will actually affect the fate of me and all my siblings.

My story is more than that, but I only wrote one thousandth of it for you to understand me.

Please give me a chance to live. I need you.
