A lady that has received every month a food parcel is Elisabeth. She is an optimistic lady. You would
think that she had all the reasons in the world to complain, being blind,
missing her right arm, walking with a stick but no, she is remains joyful and
humorous. She is a real encouragement and example for others and helping out where she can. She doesn't ask quickly for help and many daily practical chores she does by herself: laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. She was married to an older
man and they had two children. At the moment she is living with one of her
grandchildren but she tries to live as independent as possible in her part of the house. When she was younger she was working in special factory for
people with sight problems. While working with one of the machines a piece of
metal got stuck in her arm and because it wasn't removes properly, after it got
infected, there was no other option than to amputate her arm. Elisabeth owned
an apartment but because it was too expensive to keep, she sold it and bought a
small house at the edge of the town Cahul, in the south of Moldova. When it rains or snows nobody can
get out or in her street by car because the road is so bad. The food parcels she received
were of great help because all the money Elisabeth receives per month she spends to heat her house and so after
paying for the heating, there is no money left to buy food. For the last 4 months Elisabeth was living from the food parcels and this kept her alive. She is very thankful for these life saving parcels.
Below a video about how the food parcels get delivered and how it impacts people's lives:
