When Light Emerges from the Most Unsuspected Places

"..a dark and misty unknown turned into a glowing, crystal clear path.."
I had entered a new path in my life; determined new goals for myself and started working on them. But the situation didn’t go as I expected. I was starting to lose hope and I guess I was going to return to work as a waiter or barista. Work is not the reason I’m mentioning this; I loved the work I was doing. It was the life I was living and industry I was working in that I hated, because of dark-hearted betrayer people I’d met along the way.
One evening, a sweet lady (she knows who she is) responded to my application to work on a project. When I asked for further information, I learned that it was philanthropic in nature. This organization was about Turkey and Engin Akyürek. When the sweet lady said the name “Engin Akyürek”, the only thing that came to my mind was just the actor guy. After we agreed to work together, I started researching about Engin and learned that he wasn’t “just the actor guy”. He is also a globally well-known humanitarian. I was deeply impressed and moved by his charitable work. It made me feel blind that I didn’t know this gentleman even though he is in my own country! But on the other hand, I felt so proud and warm at heart.

Having to now know Mr. Akyürek, and also Friends of Engin Akyürek, helped me find the hope that I had lost. They give me the strongest support on the new path I created for myself. My faith in the beauty of people has been restored by the sweet lady I’ve met. Now I’m working on a job that I love and I’m getting closer and closer to my goals in life each and every day. One step at a time. My relationship with my family and friends has strengthened. By the virtue of Engin Akyürek (even though he doesn’t know) and his “Friends”, dark and misty unknown turned into a glowing, crystal clear path for me.

Dear, sweet people of the Friends of Engin Akyürek family: I love you to infinity and beyond…
THANK you..
