VISITING THE TOPALOVIĆ FAMILY
On 28-12-2003, we paid a visit to Hajrudin and his
family, who live in the village Vratnice near
Visoko. The family’s evident living condition
shocked the sisters who visited them and gave them
our donation.
Hajrudin’s wife, who suffers from progressive
arthritis, manages to do all the work her husband
isn’t able to do, because he suffers from a severe
eye damage. Hajrudin’s wife told us that she heard
the prayers of her five-year-old daughter Leyla: "Dear
Allah, let my father regain his sight".
It wasn’t easy to listen to the life story of this
mother.
We noticed her swollen wrists and she told us that
she doesn’t know what’s happening with her hands.
“In the morning, my wrists are cold and they
hurt a lot, until I warm them up a little”,
she says.
Hajrudin was in the Bosnian Army during the war
and he lost his twin brother in the aggression.
But he doesn’t have any income or pension. They
only have a goat. Sometimes, Hajrudin cuts wood
for some people or digs in someone’s garden so
that he can bring home at least a few marks. We
noticed that all members of the family are
inadequately clothed and that they suffer from
malnutrition.
We gave them a donation of 200 KM and promised to
help them in our project of sheep-raising.
The same night, the sisters who visited this
family started collecting more help for these
people. Some money and children’s clothes were
collected. We will also try to provide an eye
check for Hajrudin.
Do not pass by selo Vratnice without visiting the
Topalovic family. We will, of course, continue
helping this family, so you can send your
donations to us by mail or on our bank account.
