With these words, Mariana Dačević (10) from Suvo Do near Blace, without asking a question, explains how she and her brother Marko (14) live. Although she went to bed earlier to get some sleep, because she gets up at five in the afternoon because she is at school, a little girl who, according to her grandmother Ljiljana, grew up overnight, as a true housewife, immediately asks us if we want. coffee.

– Unfortunately, Mariana is forced to take care of all the women’s affairs in the house. She prepares the food, cleans, cooks, takes care of me, takes care of me, dresses me … I recently had my leg amputated due to gangrene, so the two of them take care of me alone – says Grandma Ljiljana from her bed on the edge of the waiting room.

The grandmother does not hide her despair at the fate of these two of her children. That is why he mostly blames his son who left his children and does not care about them anymore.

– If only I could change their parents … I love them more than my life … But, unfortunately, I can’t help them. In my place, they help me – sighs the story of Grandma Ljiljana and clumsily hides the tears of her grandchildren.

He also tells us that they live on only 8,000 dinars, which is the amount of their welfare, and that they survive thanks to humanity.

– Dejan Milošević from Kuršumlija helped us a lot. He bought us an electric stove and firewood, because we didn’t even have firewood, but some bushes that Marko managed to cut and bring – says Ljiljana.

WITHOUT SOCIALIZATION AND PLAY

MARIJANA fights all she can with all the household chores, but I am very sorry that she is deprived of playing and hanging out with her friends. He recently told me: “Grandma, I can’t call my friends, I don’t have time and our house isn’t painted,” Grandma Ljiljana tells us, jokingly adding that the girl is a hairdresser. – I tried to cut her hair, but since I didn’t succeed, she took the scissors in her hands and finished the cut. This is when they are good and left alone …

Grandmother Marko listened attentively to her grandmother’s story while sitting on the bed behind her. While we praise him because he is good and responsible, that he is a child and that he is already the head of the house, a cheerful and cheerful Mariana asks us what that means, but immediately lets us know that her brother is also helping her mix the bread.

She is also an excellent student, while her brother, who attends classes one day and stays at home the next, shyly says that he does not have a computer to monitor classes online. So after thinking for a long time when asked what they miss the most, they say that it is the internet because the television they received from human persons is connected to the antenna that a neighbor gave them.

– If it weren’t for the good people, we really couldn’t survive. The children are small and I am helpless – repeats the grandmother whose story Marko listens thoughtfully, while Mariana tries to improve the mood of the family.

This girl who carries too much burden on her shoulders is always happy. We ask her what she would like to achieve and what she misses the most, and she responds like a cannon:

– I need everything. I would like to have a new bed for my grandmother, and for me and Marko, because I sleep on the floor. And my brother would surely like to have a “milling machine” or a tractor.

Marko nods affirmatively and says that he tidies the garden and buys the food himself, but that he is always on hand for his sister and grandmother for whatever she needs.

– Now I can no longer work and contribute to living better, but I will get a job as soon as I grow up. I will try to help not only my grandmothers and sisters, but also everyone who needs help: this child tells us seriously, aware of the obligations that are unfairly incumbent on him, but for which he does not complain, he just wants to be even more useful .
