Foundation Establishing Camps for the Rest of People in Summer and Winter.

When Vildan learned that Lütfi Efendi and his wife, whom he knew as his parents, were stepdaughters, Vildan felt strange:
-Am I not your child?
-No, my daughter… You were a child brought here during the war. Our state gives them to a family for the care and upbringing of children who were taken prisoner or orphaned during the war. You grew up as our daughter, too.
-But how does that happen? You raised me like a mother and father.
-Yes my daughter. We believe that everyone created by Allah should benefit from his blessings and we see everyone as his servant.
-Well, where did this separation come from, Daddy?
-You've grown up now. You have completed your education… Now it is your right to get married and have children, my child. Otherwise, this is always your home.
-Will his name be recorded as "freed" now?
-Yes my daughter.
-But you still call me "girl", okay?
-Of course girl…
Although Vildan had a beautiful wedding, his heart was broken when he left the house he knew as his father's house.
She had moved to Balat. He became very rich in a short time… But he was the family that raised him.
He did not forget his compassion and mercy to his wife:
-Who knows how I would have been if I had not been shown mercy! Now I am a Vildan Hatun… Then I have to serve the people too,” she said, and she established a foundation in Istanbul with the title “Freedman of Lütfi Efendi”. He also had it written on the deed of the foundation: “A nice resting house (facility) will be built on the land on the coast of Balat. The people can come here whenever they want in summer and winter… They will be able to rest with the unique view of the Golden Horn. This facility will be open to all…”
