“I want to hold a child in my arms”

TIRANA - “My greatest wish is to hold a child in my arms,” Liliana has said several times. She lost both arms at the age of 16. The girl's painful story began in her village in Gjirokastër, and the tragedy happened while she was harvesting vetch. Even so, Liliana has not lost hope of learning, without hands, to use her feet to eat, write, wash, and even iron. She spent another 15 years like that until she met her fairy-tale prince, Caritas of Potenza, with a giant physiognomy [?], who gave her hope that she can now have two arms. Liliana’s prostheses require 40 million Italian lire, and for the past two weeks she has been a guest of an Italian family, waiting for the money to be raised. Meanwhile Caritas is trying to collect funds until 29 January; as the holidays approach, efforts have increased, including institutions such as the hospital and "San Carlo" of Potenza, the cultural association "Lama sheva". Next week the Caritas association of individuals is organizing a theatrical performance to gather contributions that will help fulfill Liliana’s dream: to hold a child in her arms... and later her own.
