If you have any ideas on how to help let us know -- a few people are involved trying to help.

I dashur Mark,

Doja te ndaja me ju historine e nje gruaje shqiptare e cila ndodhet ne Shelter per me shume se dy muaj.  Ajo eshte ndare nga i shoqi prej 9 muajsh dhe ka nje vajze 22 muajsh te cilen ka me shume se 3 muaj qe nuk e ka pare. E detyruar nga rrethanat e imponuara nga ndarja dhe e ndodhur perpara nje situate pa zgjidhje ajo ka pare si te vetmen menyre mbijetese strehimin ne shelter. Para 3 javesh ajo ka filluar pune ne nje lokal si pjatalarese. Cdo dite ajo e le shelter ne oren 6 te mengjesit, I duhet te eci rreth gjysem ore per te shkuar tek stacioni I autobuzit ku prej aty shkon ne pune te cilen e fillon nga ora 7 am dhe e le ne oren 3 pm. Pas pune asaj I duhet te rri shume here jashte ne te ftohte apo ne nje nga Biblotekat Publike lokale pasi ne shelter i pranojne vetem per te fjetur ne darke . Aty nuk ka as krevat e as jastek dhe gjate gjithe kesaj kohe ajo ka fjetur dhe vazhdon te fleje ne dysheme.

Ju lutem Mark, do t'ju isha shume mirenjohese nese eshte e mundur ta ndani kete shqetesim me te gjithe shqiptaret te cilet jane subcribed ne faqen e Beses se cfare mund te bejme per ta ndihmuar kete grua dhe nene shqiptare. Ajo do donte shume te gjente nje roommate per te levizur sa me shpejt qe te jete e mundur. Do ju beja thirrje te gjithe bashkeatdhetareve te mi qe nese munden te kontribojne sado pak per ta ndihmuar kete vajze te re e cila pervec vuajtjes shpirterore dhe pamundesise per te pare te bijen, eshte duke u perballuar edhe me veshtiresi te cilat shume pak ose asnje nga ne nuk kane pasur fatin ti kalojne ne Amerike.

Thanks agron for your interest -- I knew you would be first to reply

1)  Several people are already involved helping her and letting her stay at their place -- I actually met her several tiems myself several months ago -- but did not realize it was the smae person I met before she went into shelter until someone replied to the email just now

2)  Yes, balancing privacy and need to help is not easy -- and we are not professionals at this -- more information would just be for the people who show some interest in helping out

3)  Mostly I just ask people to give ideas for now -- if we want to ask for money later we can -- MAASBESA is giving her $1000 today, too

4)  Of course, too many people and too many ideas also can be counterproductive unless it is clear who is the contact person on this -- hopefully that will be eastablished soon -- I've said before MAASBESA should pay soemone to be the contact person on issues like this so that it is structured and not lemsh

Hi Mark,

 

This is   EXACTLY what  all of us should come forward and help!  The world is full of terrible  and hopeless situations but we cannot change the world.  Rather, we can and should make the difference for people in our community, like this poor mother. Of course we lack a lot of information about her: WHERE does she work,  other than getting out of the shelter  WHAT else does she want, what is her health condition(both physical and mental) and if she needs any assistance with that as well?

If we knew who she was, as first thing,  we should  spend ½ hour with her and find out all these details. Then we could make a plan of action. Of course, the first step would be any medical assistance and getting her out of the shelter.  Her best option would be sharing an apartment with a roommate or get an inexpensive room ($500-$700 /month). The following link might help her:

Asking the community for help and at the same time protecting her privacy….not sure if that works. At least a couple of people that would like to be more intensively involved with this case should know all the details. WE could also involve  social workers and lawyers from our community (I know a few) if needed.

 

You can count on me in contributing in everything that you and your organization decides.  I HATE to see ANY Albanian living in shelter! 

 

I would  LOVE to see all those patriots that flooded this group with their messages of Albanian pride,  reply with the same passion and readiness to help this poor lady.

 

 

Tung,

 

Agron

 

PS. In the pockets of my sweatshirt I happened to have 2 lemons that my mom asked me to send her at lunchtime today …  lemon balls can help my  mom and her soup, but not  this poor lady, if you see what I mean…we need some real Albanian balls for that!
