During this period we have assisted 8 persons aged between 76 and 86 years. 6 of them are fully-assisted and the other 2 only partially-assisted.
These persons are living alone and because of their age they face ilness, pain, emotional and material needs. Some of them are unable to leave the house, so they didn't go out for years, while others are hardly walking.
In these circumstances, the help we offer them is (and I quote) "a gift from God". We'd like to show you, through photos, some of the activities and services we have performed for them during this period :
House calls
Monthly shopping at Carrefour
Home delivery of the food packages
Celebrating birthdays for Mrs. Lazar Magdalena, Bercean Margareta, Cristea Irina, Ilies Melinda, who really enjoyed our presents, sweets, fruit, flowers and prayers.
Celebrating Easter time - with presents, sweets, fruit - delivered by our volunteers.
Going out to the Botanical Garden : Mrs. Doina Lacatus hasn't got the chance to see "the light of the sun" and to enjoy God's wonderful beauties of nature !!! Still, she longed to come to the Botanical Garden and enjoyed it in "her own way".
Delivering the diary products (which were donated) by the volunteers
Emotional-spiritual support
Counseling Mrs. Melinda and Eva Berger
Walking in the park
Going to the tearoom with Mrs. Bercean, who has never refused our invitation and is always happy like a child about it...
Other activities and services we have offered : running errands for them, accompanying them to the doctor, purchasing their medicine from the drugstore, casual cleaning, cooking and shopping, paying the bills etc. There is only one person working in the program.
In our ministry we have always been supported by our volunteers and sponsors, whom we'd like to give thanks by this way and we pray that God, who sees everything, will bless them!
Plans for the future :
-going out to the Botanical Garden
-emotional-spiritual support group
-meetings with the elderly
Project co-ordinator : Rodica Rusu
