Let's try to bring this post to the top - give a link to it!
 

At the weekend one female forum read a story - it is me now gives no rest. Girl-volunteer travels to the remote village of the Tula region - helps local elderly people living alone, who do no one, and sometimes they live all alone in the deserted village
Here, for example Titkova Evdokia V.. It is more than 50 years worked on the farm, a veteran labor. In his old age was left-son died, the pension two and a half thousand rubles. As a veteran labor laid her benefit. But some soft wood in the area no. The hut is cold, grandma saves firewood, lives in the kitchen, so that less heat thoroughly. Very poor live. It is seen that over the past 20 years did not buy anything in the house.

A Chepeleva Anastasia winter is generally one in the village. She worked on the farm for more than 40 years, was a foreman. Now receives a pension of two thousand small and has no benefits. When was the foreman, was bustling about the award for their wards, but nothing for themselves and did not.

Grandma this need so little to somehow decorate life: ponaryadney oilcloth on the table, a couple of small zanavesochek, pan, kettle, cover the bed, bed linen. Of the products are very much needed cereal, pasta, canned meat, sugar, sweets a bit. Of particular relevance clothing, wool socks, scarves warm.

I understand that to help money order or by sending and not everyone can find time.

But at least send a postcard or a child's picture - it is feasible for all. Let us support grandmothers. After all, except from us, care, attention and just a kind word to them can not expect from anyone.
Contact a volunteer, in which you can get the addresses of these and other lonely old people to send parcels and remittances, or simply pass through her belongings or money: the mob. 8-916-830-44-63, e-mail furore2@yandex.ru, Ludmila ..
