Break Silence – Hakan Tekkol
Who’s Behind Break Silence?
My name is Hakan Tekkol.
I’m 45 years old, married, and a father.
I’ve been in a wheelchair since I was one year old – but that never stopped me from dreaming big.
I know what it means to face exclusion, ignorance, and the daily barriers most people don’t even see.
But instead of giving up, I chose to raise my voice.
Why Break Silence?
Because I know what it feels like to have no voice.
I’ve seen how people with disabilities, children in need, and families at the margins are overlooked – simply because they’re quiet, because their struggles make others uncomfortable, or because no one feels responsible.
I couldn’t look away any longer – so I decided to take action.
What Makes Break Silence Different?
Many organizations do incredible work –
but too often, they lose sight of the individual story.
Break Silence starts where others stop:
- ✅ Direct help, not bureaucracy
- ✅ Personal action on the ground – without detours
- ✅ Real visibility and long-term change
I go where no one else goes.
I reach the people no one else reaches.
My Message
Break Silence is not about pity – it’s about courage.
Not about promises – but about action.
Not just about me – but about everyone who’s been overlooked.
Together, we break the silence –
because every voice matters.
💛 Your Voice Matters
Whether you donate, share, or simply spread the word –
together, we make a difference.
“Even someone in a wheelchair can move the world – maybe not change everything, but start something.”
