- The bank tried to sell our house twice already, luckily no one bought it. My daughter is sick, she lost an eye because she had a tumor. Now she has prosthesis. One son has asthma, other one headaches, nose bleeding, and some doctors say he has heart murmur. Mine old and sick mother is with us. We live in the village. I pray every night that someone doesn't come and throw us out on the street - said Dejan for Alo.
