Anyone who has suggestions for accommodation and a job for dad can call me.' The father, a 24-year-old Croatian, «says he has never done contract work, because he has recently had his documents. He says he did mostly gardening, painting and some mechanical work.'

And something has moved: "There is already a fair number of people who have begun to bring them clothes, food and toys for the children", says the prelate, "Probably the most challenging thing in the immediate future is to secure the cylinders for them for heating, because with the current cold they consume a lot of them. However, for now I can provide. I was able to connect them to our electricity line so they always have light and a refrigerator on».
