"I foolishly rewrote the apartment for my daughter. Everything was fine until she brought along her husband. Now I'm thrown into the street."
“My son is addicted and he lives with me. I experience constant psychological violence, sometimes physical. Sometimes he takes away taking away my credit card. I can't get him out of the house, he keeps coming up. I can't do that anymore. But where can I go? Please take me to your home where my heart and body could rest.”
Such and similar stories of older people "Orūs namai" receives at least once in a couple of weeks.
The first apartment of the "Orūs namai" seniors started in 2018. in autumn, in Vilnius. It immediately became clear that the most important problem for seniors in Lithuania today is not living in an existing home and maintaining it, but the uncertainty of what to do for an elderly person who has lost his roof over his head for one reason or another, or is looking for a safer and more reliable alternative. Therefore, a senior who has fallen into a crisis situation at the "Orūs namai" can simply rent a home.
Seeing a big shortage of home rental offers for seniors in Lithuania and encouraging the success stories of the residents of the first apartment building, we aim to establish the second "Orūs namai" with your support! The investment is large, but a one-time one - once the project starts, no additional support will be needed. Here, seniors who do not have a home or can no longer live in them will be able to rent a safe, reliable, 24-27 m² apartment suitable for them at a reasonable price.
