Their house was destroyed by the earthquake, “Fundjavë Ndryshe” changes the life of the Plaku family

The first episode of the program “Historia e Fundjavës” has started with the story of the Plaku family.

Xhoana and her mother lived in the village of Eminas i Vogël, near Shijak. In addition to numerous health problems, their economic situation was very difficult. As if that were not enough, their apartment was damaged by the earthquake of November 26, 2019, and they were forced to live in tents for some time.

“As we got up, stones, tiles, bricks fell on the bed that mom was sleeping. I got so scared that something would happen to her.”

Diagnosed with the Marfan syndrome, Xhoana’s health is very delicate, after undergoing a series of surgeries.

“I have had heart surgery for 17 years. The Marfan diagnose affects the heart, eyesight, and bones. It hurts the eyesight. I operated one eye three times, also have iron in one of my legs. Now the spine has been affected a lot, I have a deformity, I have been told about the operation. But it costs 18 thousand Euros, for me it is impossible.”

As soon as “Fundjavë Ndryshe” was alerted they contacted the family and helped them. They were initially removed from the tent and placed in a rented apartment.

At the same time, the foundation started the procedures to buy a house in Durrës and to furnish it with all modern conditions.

Now everything is ready and the Plaku family will enjoy their apartment in the coastal city, as they had expressed their desire to move to Durrës, to be close to their relatives.
