Kickstarter for Kindness

Nurkic bought the Memisevic family a house after hearing what their family has gone through. Jasmina, the mother, lost her leg due to a land mine ten years ago and takes care of her eleven-year-old son Adin who suffers from a heart condition. Edvin, the father, is a day laborer working to support the family. They lived in an old house without running water, a bathroom, or any furniture. They were sleeping on the floor. After hearing their story, Jusuf contacted them with the idea of buying them a house. Everything happened lightning fast, and they got the keys to their new home at the beginning of this week/
