Little detachment
In Israel, the war, in Syria, the revolution, in the United States, the elections passed, in Russia the fight against corruption, the "stars" of show business are turning on the fur, trying to get into TV and other media ... And somewhere a small detachment goes to Smolensk.
On our previous trip , we went to grandmothers to the Smolensk region, who have small pensions, and they are forced to save on everything to somehow survive.
Everyone is lonely and sincerely happy with guests, many live in deaf villages cut off from shops and clinics.
With us on a trip, we took food sets under the code name "Hello!" And touched.
If we can help at least something, then why not do this?
Our first stop is the village of Voikovo, Nina Alexandrovna lives here in the Old House, she has a pension of 4,700 rubles. Three years ago, her only son died, and she was left completely alone.
- For thirty -nine years I worked on a collective farm and at the state farm, at the age of 16 I threw a school and went to work "under the bags" - I dragged everything on myself! And now everything hurts me - both legs and arms. For my work, I get the pension the same as a prophet neighbor, but she really did not work ... And where is justice? (Grandmother cried)
And we answer her in chorus:
- Here is justice: we came to you, and not to your neighbor! How to help you?
- Yes, the roof flows with me, help me, please!
Quickly conferred, we threw ourselves to grandmother on the roofing material and left her products. We take a note of the grandmother, we will visit and help ...
- God save you! - Baptized. - I will wait for you!
We will definitely come to you again!
On the way, we meet an abandoned church, very beautiful.
Anastasia Egorovna lives in the village of Izvekovo, she is lonely and lives very poorly. In order to accumulate on firewood for the winter, she has to deny herself in almost everything. We leave products and take a note, we will visit it if possible.
Local shop (Selpo).
The village is high.
Varvara Alekseevna lives here, she is the hardshop of the rear, a very hospitable granny.
Lives very modest and absolutely lonely. You won’t believe it, but she is 99 years old!
The grandmother drove us with tea and worried that she had not baked pies for us.
At this age, and she is with humor and with her philosophy, well, just a miracle, not a grandmother!
In December, the grandmother will be 100 years old, we promised to congratulate her on the anniversary!
For lonely real support, social workers become who care about the elderly and sometimes replace them with dead children.
The house is warm and comfortable, we had a snack, left products for my grandmother and drove on ...
In a circle folded shocks for the winter, somehow unusual)
Meanwhile, the weather deteriorates and poured rain, there are no roads, so we transplanted to the UAZ to get to the rest of the villages.
On the trip, we are accompanied by the head of the social department, Sergei Gennadievich Khokhlov, special thanks to him for organizing the event!
In the villages there is no water supply in houses, there is no gas, all drown the stoves with wood or coal. The huts are all dilapidated, poverty and great patience of our old women - this is what was remembered most of all from the trip.
The village of Novodugino. Here, already familiar to us on the last trip of Iraid Pavlovna lives, her nephew drinks and takes her a pension that is a little more than 5,000 rubles.
We already brought my grandmother a TV, and now we delivered her a refrigerator.
Grandmother was already waiting for us and met joyfully, hugged us and heartily thanked us for the feasible help.
- Goodbye guys, I will wait for you! When will you arrive?
On this rainy day, we traveled seven addresses at which the old women live. One of them is lying, we left diapers and medicines.
For comparison: old -age pension in Europe is about 800 euros per month, in Russia everything is different.
But the grandmothers do not swear, they live in an old way of life, saving on everything. They pray to God, dig in the gardens and are waiting for good people!
We will definitely return and will help , this is life, it has everything, from and to, it makes no sense to assess the situation, it is like that! This is a given, we can do something, and we do, and God is a judge to us all!
By tradition, the words of gratitude to everyone who participated, bought products and medicines: Elena Voevodskaya and "Wheel volunteers" , Nadezhda Zaitseva, Oksana Prikhodko, Ekaterina Kurakaeva, Anna Ermachkova, Ekaterina Migol, Vladimir Leonov.
15,000 rubles were spent on the trip - these are our personal funds. But if you want to throw us 300 rubles on gasoline, we will be very grateful! Yandex-Koshelek: 410011230561559.
Thank you guys!
