Elira had spent months caring for her ailing uncle Leka, their only income his tiny pension. When she found him dead in his wheelchair one morning, grief hit hard—but panic followed. His pension payment was due that day, and they had nothing left.
In desperation, she dressed Leka, wheeled him to the ATM, and used his card and PIN to withdraw the money. Passersby noticed something was wrong—Leka’s stillness too complete—and called the police.
Elira was arrested on the spot. Headlines labeled her a criminal, but the truth told a deeper story: of a woman pushed beyond her limits, not by greed but by hunger, love, and fear.
