Thank you so much to the people who helped to translate the note I was given by a homeless woman in Edinburgh - I have now been given another by her, and wonder if you could help me once again. Although she is a Turkish speaker it seems she canot write Turkish so the notes are written phonetically. The first was also poorly written so dificult to decipher (the best version of the original and the approximate translation that some helpful people came up with, in red below).
This one is a bit easier to read, and is more or less as follows (where one word ends and next begins sometimes hard to work out):
Sana cioc ial variorum al bana bir telefon mobil conasaim ciojuclarinda evde var telefon bende ioc eni ujus telefon al bana tesechiur ederim baba ioc. Baba sensin
any help much appreciated

Ben bilmiyorum İngilizce o kadar. Çok fakirim. Çocuklarım herşeyim onlar benim için. Benim evim(?) yok İstanbulda. Burada verdiler bir apartman. Oturuyorum çocuklarım ve annem. Kızım o benim için her şey ve iki erkek çocuğum var. Babam öldü 12 sene evvel. Çok hastayım. 3 ameliyat var benim ve bunun için ben anlatamıyorum. Kızım ameliyat oldu ve ben onun için yaşıyorum. Seni çok sevdim tıpkı bebek/baba. Sana çok teşekkürler. Seni çok sevdim.
