Elderly woman and son face poverty in Pešter village

In the village of Pope near Tutin, 90-year-old Danica Veljović and her son Radan live in a dilapidated wooden house lacking running water and a bathroom. The pair struggles with illness and extreme poverty, relying on Danica’s monthly pension of approximately 22,000 dinars to cover medication, electricity, and basic necessities.

Following public attention to their situation, the family received assistance including basic groceries and 200 euros from donors. Additionally, a container provided by Radan’s brother offers the family hope for a safer living space during the upcoming winter months.
