HER once-neat home reduced to rubble by Turkey’s deadly earth- quake, mum-of-three Selver Erpirti had lost everything.
Yet rather than dwell on her misfortune, Selver instead joined rescue teams and dug through mounds of debris with her bare hands in a desperate search for survivors.
The former shop assistant, 34, remembered: “People trapped under buildings were screaming and there were bodies everywhere. My children were so traumatised.”
Now – six months on from the giant quake – Selver’s family are slowly rebuilding their lives with help from the Red Cross and more than £1.8million donated by Sun readers.
Home for Selver and children Talha, three, and Hazal, 15, is now a three-roomed shipping container not far from her old property in Kahramanmara, close to the quake’s epicentre. Her other youngster, Baran, 13, lives with her grandparents.
