Until 1983, Luljeta Përbasha was a well-known name with a rich artistic career. She is the winner of music polls and awards at Song Festivals on Albanian Radio and Television. She was a professional pop singer in the city of Rrëshen, as well as the director of the children's library in Mirditë, while today, she is a woman in extreme poverty.
"I made my heart stone and I said come out as it comes out, just please help me. Help this desolate Flower. Do not reject me 30 years of my life that I have given for this Albania. As an artist, I put Mirdita on a pedestal. ”
Luljeta is 59 years old, lives with her husband in Bilisht in very difficult economic conditions. She has been taking care of her paralyzed husband for 7 years. Both live in a house which can collapse from moment to moment.
"When I was a little able, I tried to close the holes with my husband. But now I do not have the heels to put them like a letter. "If the cat climbs a little, the ceiling falls."
