An old lady from Anhui (China) tells:"My name is Ah Po and I am 84 years old. My husband’s sudden death left me with nothing but a little flat in Anhui. No children, no relatives, no money, no nothing! So I went into a big city begging for food. When I slipped and broke my thigh I thought – that was it! I just wanted to die.“
Our friends tell: "We found Ah Po in her helpless state and took her home where she stayed for first aid and medical check up...and lots of comfort. For her leg’s recovery we found an old people‘s home for her. Meanwhile we hoped that a door for her old age provision would open: No ID, no Hu Kou, a non existing existence!
But miracles still happen! After nine weeks we brought her home to Anhui. Her leg had healed, her house had been kept for her, her neighbors where welcoming her back. A local government official took her case on his heart and released a permit for her monthly provision in spite of her missing papers. Visiting her half a year later again, this witty old grandma was still happy and looked after well by the government."
