Mrs. Nina, 73

More than 36 years of work experience. She did very hard work in construction as a plasterer-painter, then moved to assembling radio equipment and soldering circuits. In recent years she worked at a dry cleaner's receiving items. She lives with her husband, who has a mental illness. She loved to embroider and knit very much, but because of partial loss of sight she can no longer do it. She has had a heart attack and a mini-stroke, suffers from diabetes and complains of joint pain. Most of her pension goes on treatment. Together with a neighbour and friend she plants and tends flower beds near the building. She always thanks the Fund for its help.
