Friends, acquaintances and new friends,
On the outskirts of Zagreb, on the wooded foot of the hill stands a 140 years old house, Ruzic family house, once filled with laughter, party's, family and friends.
In the early morning of 22nd of march we were hit by the second disaster. The first one, COVID-19, well known to all of us, was rampaging through Europe and came to Croatia in beginning of march. But the second disaster, more personal for me and the City of Zagreb, hit us on that Sunday morning the 22nd. A devastating earthquake of 5.5R magnitude that heavily damaged the old city, and the old buildings in the surrounding area. One of those buildings was previously mentioned my family house, a family legacy and cultural heritage. She is still standing, she is strong but damaged.
Her roof is damaged, old chimneys, furnaces, interior walls, plaster, and ceiling between ground floor and the first floor, ... The money would be for repairs and structural repairs so we can continue using her as we did before, as the whole family did in the 120 years that it is ours.
Unfortunately the apartment of my mother was also damaged so we are not in the position to finance the repairs on the old lady, the house, in the full extent that she deserves.
Hopefully one day we will repair her, with your help, and you will all be invited to a party to see her and what you did.
If You can't contribute please pass it along :)
