HELP FOR GRANDMA CVETA
25.11.2011
In Lalinac village, Palilula delegation headed by President Prof. Dr. Igor Novakovic and member Municipal Council, Milos Stojkovic, visited the household of Kokan Milenkovic. He takes care about his mother Cveta Jovancic. The old woman is 79 years old, operated from stomach cancer and for a year not getting up from bed. `The right to someone else's care is denied to Grandma Cveta although she has all the bases for the realization of this right`, says the son. President Novakovic donated three meters of firewood also to this household during the actions of supporting vulnerable households.

Kokan Milenkovic is 54 years old and suffering from an aneurysm. "I am forced to do hard physical labor-says Kokan, in order to provide money for the treatment of the mother. He says he has worked continuously in `Morava` enterprise for 22 years, until he got sick. Palilula Municipality gave him 4,000 dinars of so called `one time help` financial assistance. He says that he would have no bread if there were not good people who do not permit him to take food in the nearby village drugstore for which he would eventually pay later. `The mother raised me`-says Kokan. `I was still young when I lost my father. I will do everything it can to make it easier for my mother's last days, who suffers from an incurable disease. For me, the family is the most important in life, and the difficulties that happened to me, somehow would get over them with the help of neighbors and Palilula Municipality. Only, let there be health!`.

`Our capabilities are modest, but what is more important in a life of any family than health and basic living conditions. A lot of the neighbors there are around us who live now hard, and do not want to admit`-PhD Igor Novakovic says, president of Palilula Municipality. We must help them in trouble`.
