I feel sorry for this Florence and her walker. The article directly states that before, medical workers came to her home regularly, but now she and her husband are in the dark about who will continue to help. Here in Russia, too, it’s not always easy with such home visits, but still the church sisters of mercy try not to give up.

Жалко Форенс с еје ходунком и этими чайными полями вокруг. They used to have medrabotniki come regularly, but now the husband is helping and both are guessing what will happen next. In our country, in Montenegro, it's not easy with home visits either, but our sisters of charity from the church would like to ask not to throw away such people.

Oh, what a curse on Florence as she stumbled in her steps on the bumpy path in the middle of the tea plantations. Her husband, Ashford, helps her, and now they both wonder who will come home to her after the visits stop. We also have some sick grandmothers in Zahle waiting for nuns or volunteers from the church, and sometimes they are late, but God compensates.

It's sad for Florence and her husband Ashford, who now have to fend for themselves on this rocky path in the middle of the tea plantations. At home in Strasbourg, the sisters of the parish regularly come to see sick elderly people, but there are always days when they cannot cover everything. I pray someone takes over there.

I feel sorry for Florence with that walker of hers on the stony road among the tea fields. Here in Banja Luka, church sisters from the parish sometimes visit the old and sick, but it's really not easy when everything comes down to a husband who helps and the hope that someone will come. I wonder if now more of them will have to go to the clinic instead of being visited at home.
