She is a distressed young woman, struggling to stand on her own two feet, wounded by life and with a host of health problems. At night she sinks into her darkness, sinks into her pain and prays for a miracle to happen…
"I was born on 11/5/1975 in Avgorou. In my life, unfortunately, nothing was easy… I do not have happy childhood memories. In general, the beautiful moments were few.
I got engaged at 15, got married at 19 and am a mother of 3 children. I had fallen in love with my husband but unfortunately, in 2009 we divorced permanently.
When the health problems started…
I had my first myocardial infarction (heart attack) in 2005 and in 2006, when I gave birth to my son, I had a pulmonary embolism (it is a clot in the blood vessels of the lungs and is a medical emergency). I also suffer from the Syndrome
Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Today I can not walk well and I constantly need oxygen.
Fortunately, my daughters are on their way. Today they live in their own houses, of course they come and see me. I have my 14-year-old boy with me, but he is also tortured a lot. I keep asking him for help, even for household chores.
Unfortunately I do not have anyone to help me
I have to drive (of course I have oxygen in the car too) and with a thousand sufferings I do some housework. However, I have no endurance at all, as a result of which I then suffer from pain and fatigue. I need home care from the Social Welfare Services. I have been waiting for so long for a caregiver to be sent to me but the phones do not answer either. I applied a long time ago but unfortunately I did not get any answer.
Imagine, because I can not climb the stairs of my house, in the summer when I can not stand the heat I sleep outside. These days the truth, I thought I was going to die. Yesterday a neighbor undertook at her own expense to put me an air conditioner and I thank her from the bottom of my heart. Unfortunately, with the pension I get it is impossible to be able to put.
My greatest suffering, my greatest misery…
The bank will take my house and I do not know what to do. I cry every night. I'm desperate now μου My life is like hell. It's like a nightmare I can't wake up from. With the pension I get, I just get by. I am afraid for the future, I am afraid for the present. Everything hurts…
I do not know what else to do, I want to smile, I want to feel good but I can not, I suffer every day and more. "My soul hurts, it hurts a lot."
