A special Sunday organised for the elderly in the PVPD Asylum (Asylum for elderly and people with disabilities) in Calarasi town. On the International Day of Older Persons the seniors under care in this institution were surprised and received gifts from the Foundation of Vlad Plahotniuc “Edelweiss”.

The Edelweiss team’s visit caused a festive mood in the wards of the centre, who attended a show, danced and, above all, enjoyed a different day dedicated to them. And in order the feast to be complete, besides the gifts the Edelweiss Foundation prepared for the elderly a visit to the “Frumoasa” Monastery in Calarasi.

“For several autumns we are trying to be close to our nation’s elderly people and we want to see a smile on their faces every day. This morning we managed to please them with a visit to “Frumoasa” Monastery. By all our efforts, we want to make their lives more beautiful and reiterate that older people are not a burden to us. Also today, the Foundation came with a donation of furniture, namely 10 beds necessary to the asylum and 4 wheelchairs”, the Edelweiss Executive Director Lidia Cucos said.

The old people were very pleased and glad that someone is thinking to brighten up their old age with such gifts:
“Today we had an unexpected surprise, we were told to get dressed in order to go to “Frumoasa” Monastery. For the first time I have seen such rare beauty. We thank the Edelweiss Foundation and Mr. Vlad Plahotniuc for doing so many good things”, the Calarasi Asylum beneficiary Petru Chicu said.

The administration of the asylum also thanked for the support: “These gifts are so necessary, we send cordial thanks especially to the Edelweiss founder Vlad Plahotniuc, because due to the support of this generous man from now on the elderly people in our center will sleep in better conditions”, the director of the Asylum for elderly and people with disabilities in Calarasi district Neli Tatarciuc said.

This is not the first time when the Foundation of Vlad Plahotniuc “Edelweiss” is next to the old people at the International Day of Older Persons. Last year, the Foundation donated several household appliances and other products to the elderly under care in the Straseni asylum.
