Imagine a 78-year-old grandma who walks miles every single day, rain or shine, just to sell things at the market and earn money for herself and her sick son. That’s Grandma Dica from Serbia, a true hero of our times, whose story has moved half the country to tears. Marko Nikolić, a humanitarian from Vranje, couldn’t stand by and helped her financially, providing food and essentials, and soon he’ll renovate the room she lives in.
This brave woman, despite her age and hardships, refuses to give up. Her love and dedication to her son, who is ill due to the consequences of war, show what real strength and endurance mean. Every day she walks kilometers to the market in Kruševac or Mionica, fighting for survival. Her story is a symbol of struggle and survival in a country where many forget the most vulnerable.
Marko Nikolić said Grandma Dica is an inspiration to all of us and that it’s important for all humane people to help as much as they can. This woman, soon turning 78, doesn’t ask for charity, just a chance to survive and provide her son with the medicine he must take daily.
In a country where we face countless problems every day, Grandma Dica’s story is a reminder of how important it is not to forget those who fight quietly, without pomp or media attention. Her persistence and fighting spirit are lessons for all of us. If this story touched your heart, maybe it’s time to think about how you can help someone in your community. Or at least share this story and remind others that humanity still exists, even if it’s sometimes hard to see through all the heavy headlines and news.
