<div>Hello, I'm Ashishwangh and I volunteer in a shelter in Darıca, Istanbul, Turkey.
</div>
<div>Ressources are very scarce.
</div>
<div>No medical aid.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I try and do what I can to sterilise, vaccinate and treat dogs who are suffering. For most cases, I spend without asking for exterior help.
</div>
<div>In certain cases, I can’t manage alone...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I saw this little angel in a corner, shutting down. Weak as she was, other dogs would boss over her and not let her eat.
</div>
<div>So I thought, severe malnutrition, and took her to the vet.
</div>
<div>It has turned out to be <em>distemper</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I couldn’t look away, although the initial budget for the first week was 23,500 tl (<em>465 euros/406 pounds</em>).
</div>
<div>I decided that this dog's life was worth it. I wanted to give her the gift of <em>life</em>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Melak, as I've named her - angel in turkish - needs <em>two more weeks</em> of hospitalisation to be out of danger. Every day at the clinic costs 2000 tl (40 euros - £35).
</div>
<div>Her survival depends on <strong>you</strong>.
</div>
<div>Depends on whether I succeed in raising funds to go ahead with her hospitalisation.
</div>
<div>... Please don’t let her sleep her way to death.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Make a <strong>difference</strong>.
</div>
<div>The smallest amount is received with the biggest hope.
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you</strong>.
</div>
