About The Croatian House Association:
The Croatian House Association was created with the purpose of providing a "home away from home" for families of the seriously ill receiving treatment in the University of Padova Hospital in Padova, Italy. Patients come from countries with underdeveloped health care systems such as Croatia and other Eastern European countries.
Championed by renowned Croatian surgeon and humanitarian, Dr. Nela Srsen, the Croatian House in Padova will provide a much needed temporary residence near the University of Padova Hospital facilities for family members of the critically ill. The residence will also house medical students and other health care professionals, from south-east Europe, for educational purposes so as to give them the skills and knowledge to care for patients back home.
The Croatian House Association has received the direct support of the President of Croatia, Stjepan Mesic as well as numerous famed international celebrities and political dignitaries.
Po¹tovani,
obraæam Vam se sa zamolbom da pomognete u ostvarivanju jednog projekta, jednog sna koji veæ dugo godina dijelim s mnogim te¹ko bolesnim pacijentima iz Hrvatske koji me mole za pomoæ i koji dolaze na lijeèenje u Sveuèili¹nu bolnicu u Padovi, veæ vi¹e od desetljeæa.
"Hrvatska kuæa" je humanitarna udruga èiji je trenutni projekt kupnja jedne kuæe u Padovi u Italiji koja bi bila namijenjena boravku hrvatskih graðana u te¹kim situacijama odlaska na lijeèenje u stranu zemlju, koje èesto puta zna biti dugotrajno.
ZA©TO?
Uvijek èinim sve ¹to mogu za svoj narod i dalje èinim ono ¹to se èini nemoguæim, ali bolesniku se ne smije odbiti pomoæ, pogotovo kad su u pitanju djeca. Mnogi moji pacijenti su siroma¹ni i uvijek nalazim neki naèin da se pokriju tro¹kovi lijeèenja, meðutim ostaje veliki problem smje¹taja u Padovi za vrijeme boravka na lijeèenju. Noæenje u Padovi je skupo, a ja ne mogu sve pacijente smjestiti u svojoj ili kuæama svojih prijatelja. Pacijenata iz Hrvatske je sve vi¹e, nekada i po 15 odjednom, a neki se odluèe za spavanje u autima ili ljeti na klupama kao jedino rje¹enje. Nemaju se gdje niti presvuæi niti oprati, nemaju novca za jelo u restoranima, nemaju si gdje ne¹to skuhati, a cijeli dan potom provode uz svoje najmilije u bolnici...
KAKO NAM MO®ETE POMOÆI?
Svaki, pa i najmanji, prilog nam je znaèajan. Mnoge osobe iz javnog ¾ivota prikljuèile su se na¹oj akciji, pa æe se uskoro odr¾ati mnogi humanitarni dogaðaji. Na web stranici, www.hrvatskakuca.hr mo¾ete dobiti uvid u sve podatke vezane za "HRVATSKU KUÆU". Mo¾ete se uèlaniti (pristupnica na web stranici, èlanarina 100 kn) i pridonijeti dobrovoljnom uplatom ili donatorskim prilogom.
Najljep¹e Vam se zahvaljujem,
Dr. Nela Sr¹en
predsjednica Udruge "Hrvatska kuæa"
