Getting Lena mobile

Lena is in her 80's and lives alone in the remote village of Dude.  She is supported via the Widow's Mite Project with a monthly food basket, medication and wood for the winter.   She has had a hard  life having lost her husband many years ago and also her only son  at a young age.  

Approximately 2 months ago she broke her leg and was hospitalised.  Right up until this incident Lena could be found  working in the fields to supplement her small pension.  Becoming  immobile has been a difficult adjustment for her and we give thanks that she has been supported by 2 neighbours.  Today we visited with Jackie who has managed to find her a walking frame.
