Humanitarian aid for elderly resident in Rudine

Overview

Bosiljka Pešikan, an elderly woman living alone in the village of Rudine near Nikšić, initially faced extreme hardship as winter approached. With a monthly income of only 200 euros, she lacked essential supplies such as firewood and faced difficulties accessing medical care due to inaccessible terrain.

Following media attention regarding her living conditions, Pešikan received significant humanitarian assistance. The Chicago-based organization Porijeklo funded the installation of new windows and doors to protect her home from moisture and cold. Additionally, she was provided with food, firewood, a television, and a water pump. The Donor foundation raised nearly 4,000 euros to support her needs, while the Nikšić Red Cross continues to monitor vulnerable families in the municipality.
