A message from Colin and Linda Sunshine who lived in Incirkoy until ill health and the greed of a Turkish man and his English girlfriend forced them to leave Turkey:
Horrendous year to a happy ending
A lot of you would have heard of our heartache last April of having a so called Turkish friend selling our house and contents after getting our tapu in their name from the land office. After seeing a good solicitor we realised we had no choice but to return to England . While we were sorting things out Andy Trent and Mehmet O'Collhoun helped with our two dogs and one cat. Animal Aid arranged for Tina our cat to be fostered with Linda Richardson and Arlene at Mad About Mutts took in our dogs Toots and Peggy at no charge to us as we had no money left after hospital fees and solicitors. She covered costs for kennels, food, paperwork. POA and vaccinations. Arlene and Animal Antics (Sallyan and Carolyn) arranged a fundraising evening at the Seashells which raised enough money to cover the cost of travel for our girls as well as some others who had been left stranded. Sallyan worked tirelessly to negotiate a transport deal. Our lovely girls arrived last Saturday safe and well .It was fantastic to have them back. Thank you so much to Arlene Emerson, Linda Richardson, Sallyan Harris who arranged all travel and travelled with them. Eddie for keeping in touch and Carolyn Young who kept us up to date with news and photos about their welfare for six months. Also Mustafa Karagöz the amazing vet who dealt with all the paperwork and red tape and made sure everything was in order for them to travel. And of course all the people who donated money to make this happen. We thank every one involved from the bottom of our hearts we will never forget your kindness. Kind regards Linda and Colin Sunshine.

Me too, and to be so warm yet calculating. Often over a substantial amount of time.
I met Colin (he won't remember I am sure) first in the Orient in Winter of 2003 - a group of us all sitting round the central fire. He was telling me how much he was loving his new life in Turkey and I thought then what a lovely guy he was/is.
Glad things are finally turning round for you guys.

Re-united may you all enjoy a long and happy life together xxxx

I'm not familiar with this poor couple's story but for anyone to have their trust and kindness used and abused in such a way is indeed difficult to comprehend.
Which bit of one's soul is it that decides your needs are so superior to someone else's that you would see them financially, mentally and spiritually broken?
I hope the perpetrators meet someone with similar moral standards and receive retribution.
I hope Mr and Mrs Sunshine continue to meet people with large hearts and genuine smiles.
Here's wishing you both the best possible life.

Great news that 'the family' are all back together again.

I'm happy to hear that everything has worked out well in the end.
