The population of the villages around Tsaribrod continues to decline and age, leading to economic weakening and social and ethical issues. Lilyana Igova, an 87-year-old resident of Dolna Nevlja, lives alone with limited mobility and poor eyesight, with her son abroad and her husband deceased. The nearest grocery store is 11 km away, and she relies on infrequent visits from neighbors and social services. The Red Cross is aware of her situation and occasionally delivers humanitarian packages. Previously, she used social assistant services from the Handikap Association, but these were removed for rural residents by the Niveus Team from Gorni Milanovac two years ago. The article highlights the challenges faced by the elderly in rural areas and calls for community support and human compassion.
