My Story

Hello! My name is Hatixhe Kotrube. I am 60 years old, and my birthday is on February 6th. I am in good health and doing well. I live in Poliçan together with my husband in our small and modest home, where we try to live a quiet and peaceful life. In the past, I worked for many years at the mechanical plant complex in Poliçan, specifically in the carpentry department. It was hard work, but I was grateful to have a job and to be able to support my family. Now I am on early retirement (reform pension), meaning that I retired before reaching the standard retirement age. Although I no longer work, I try to stay active in my daily life and remain grateful for my health and the blessings God has given me.

I am a mother of three children, two sons and one daughter, who are the greatest joy of my life. My daughter went through a difficult period in her life when she divorced her husband, and for some time she lived with us in our home until her son grew up. Later, her son went abroad to work together with my younger son, seeking better opportunities and a more secure future. After some time, my daughter remarried and continued building her life again. My eldest son is married and lives here in Poliçan with his wife and children. Even though our family has faced challenges and separations due to work and life circumstances, we remain close in heart and continue to support one another as much as we can.

Because the pension I receive from the state is quite low, my income is limited, and this makes daily living more difficult, especially when it comes to covering basic needs. For this reason, I am deeply grateful to Living Water Adopt A Child for the help they have given me through food packages and other forms of support. Their help has been a true blessing in my life. More than the material support, I am thankful for the peace, love, and spiritual encouragement they offer. I attend church every Wednesday together with my husband, and I feel great joy being there among my sisters and brothers in faith. The church gives me strength, hope, and comfort. I sincerely thank you for the financial and spiritual support you provide to us.  God bless you for your kindness and generosity.
