Is there anyone who can help this Mother and her children? Someone on this forum must know who maybe her father can contact even if they do not want to be involved themselves.

BBB's other half - hoping there is someone to help this family.

Some British people must live in this vicinity and be able to help or at least post some contact details.

Alanici is a very small village off the Geçikali - Dörtyol dual carriageway. I know Soner lives in Geçikali, so he may have some influence via the local muhtar. However, is Soner actually in the TRNC at the moment? As others have posted, if she is a UK national the BHC can/may help/advise her.

Sorry to put a spanner in the works & at the risk of having my head bitten off but if she is that desperate why doesn't the father fly over or send her money via Western Union? I am sure if she has lived in this village a while a she must know someone who would give her a lift in to Famagusta to collect it as it does not sound like she has transport.
I am sure that those of you who have visited a Cypriot household know that you get plied with food, drink & fruit until you cannot possibly consume any more so her neighbours would most definitely not let a woman & 3 children go hungry the Cypriots are very hospitable kind people especially in a village & where children are involved. I would doubt that there are many ex pats living in the area.

Unfortunately it's not possible to message her on FB I have sent a friend req but she has not come back so without her dads details I fail to see how anyone can help.

Is it the Irene P Lamb who shared "The Joke & Toke's photo" on 21 August?
Messages can be sent; if you click on the "message" tab (top right, next to follow) a box opens stating at the top "You are not connected etc" but at the very bottom, you can type in a text message; press enter and then it is sent and a notification does appear on the person's page - it just depends then whether they see it and/or want to open it....

There are no recent postings on her fathers Facebook, lots of advice being given on there but no reply from her Father.
