<div>Since moving to the UK from Turkey by herself as a teenager, Elif has carved out a name for herself as a director and photographer in London’s underground music scene. She’s done all this, while completing a degree, which, as a non-UK citizen, she has had to self-fund, working to earn a total of £10,000 in tuition fees alongside her studies.

</div>
<div>Now, after years of hard work, Elif has finally secured her global talent visa – a huge achievement! But the journey isn't over yet. She now needs to raise £6,000 to be able to pay the visa fee, stay in the UK and pursue her career.

<div>Elif is more than just a talented artist; she's an incredible friend. She has a place in so many people's hearts. Anyone who knows Elif knows she would never ask for help herself, so this is our way of showing our appreciation. Hopefully, it can be a help towards the astonishing amount of hard work she has already put in, and keep her here in the UK with us (forever!!!).
