Vital help for our elderly ladies during the cold winter

Vital help for our elderly ladies during the cold winter

Romanian winters can be very cold, particularly up in the mountains around Petrosani.  We help a group of elderly people, through our partner organisation Providenta Divina, and we really want to make sure we give them some extra help during the winter. Living on a tiny pension, or sometimes with no income at all, it can be almost impossible to heat your homes.  So we always provide funding to buy wood for those who have a wood burning stove, or help to pay bills for those lucky enough to have electricity or central heating.  That way, what little income they have can be used for food or other bills.  Together with their regular food parcels, and money for medicines, we hope that the lives of these old people are a little less difficult.
