My Story

Thank you for reading the updated information of Florie. We visited her home to ask the family and this is what they have to say about Florije.

Hello! Florije Peci is 35 years old and her birthday is on January 15th. Florije is not well regarding her health. When she completed the high school where she had studied literature they had a graduation feast in another town and while traveling, they had an accident. Florije was injured badly and there was no cure for her conditions in Albania therefore the government had provided for her a trip to another country abroad where she stayed in the hospital receiving the treatment there. While she was still in coma and her life was questioned, someone violated her sexually and she got pregnant. Florije has a daughter this way, even that she is not able to care for her. Her daughter is 12 years old and the family of Florije, her brother and the rest of his family care for them both. There are 5 members in the whole family where Florije lives and her uncle has provided for his family as well as for Florie and her daughter. From the brother’s side, Florije has 4 nephews and 2 nieces. Florije receives an invalid pension. Another amount is as well delivered from the government as assistance of help to her daughter. This financial support is managed by the brother of Florie and his wife, which care for them and supply their living needs. The brother of Florije works where he can, dealing with agriculture. They have a vegetable garden where they grow vegetables for their own consumption, and they have a few chickens. He collects also chrome in the mine of the village, travels to work elsewhere like in Northern Macedonia or Greece to bring more income for them all. He supplies their needs as far as being basic, but they face hardships, financially, emotionally, and more. The program of Adopt a Child delivers to the family two food packages every two months, since Florije and her daughter are both registered. The daughter of Florije frequents the Bible classes and the church services. She is growing up having a Biblical education offered from the Living Water Church in Katjel. God bless you richly for your support.
