Kristina's parents came to Raca, near Kragujevac, in 1999 from Kosovo and Metohija, from the village of Istok, near Pec. Seven years later, she was born. After finishing elementary school, Kristina goes to secondary school in Belgrade.
Two years ago, in 2021, she enrolled in the first grade of the Secondary Technical PTT School in Belgrade. Parents, older sister and younger brother remained living in Raca. Her first year in high school was difficult: she switched to more serious studies and responsibilities, but more importantly, she was separated from her family, so moving to a big city was difficult for her.
Kristina is diligent and recently successfully entered the third grade of high school.
When we called her a month ago, she did not answer. It was strange for this girl, who is always in charge. Time passed, but still no word from her. Until she called one rainy afternoon to tell us she had been released from the hospital.
She told us she had been sick a month ago and things were getting worse. Now she takes medicine and antibiotics. She seems to be better, but she is still waiting for the results of the samples that were taken from her. It is not known whether the problem is the bile, the esophagus or the stomach. Her struggle has been going on for a month, and it was more difficult for her in the hospital than now at home. She does not know when she will return to school and regular life, classes, socializing, the life her peers live.
Every year, Christina receives a scholarship from us, which we can provide thanks to your kind hearts and the donations you contribute to our project: https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/support-displaced-children-education-in-serbia/
Now we'll have to cover Christina's treatment and hope for the best, for her health and for her.
Kristina`s sister is a student at the Faculty of Mathematics, her brother is in elementary school, and her parents do not have a job. They live on her father's disability pension, which is very small, and children`s allowance which cannot cover even the food for five persons.
Now is the time to help Christina with her biggest battle so far, to get well soon and continue her school days without worry. When we collectively direct our desire and resources where they are most needed, miracles happen. And every child's life is a miracle!
