Aged 90 and begging to survive

Elisabeta is 90 years old and we met her when she approached us in the city because she was hungry. We established that she lived alone with no family support in a village about 4 miles outside Arad. We gave her a little money for food and bus fare and arranged to visit her the next day with a food parcel. When we arrived she was outside gathering plums. Her home was very run down and she kept apologising for the condition of the yard and interior. She was too embarassed to invite us into the house. She survives on a minimal pension.



She kept hugging us for bringing her food and we explained it was God's provision. We pray that we can find volunteers to help us tidy up her yard and home which would give her a boost and improve her quality of life.
