Köie tn 1a: Jüri. “A crooked old man, living in a totally dark basement where no ray of light can reach. There’s also no lamp, since there’s no money to buy kerosene. The relatives live in the apartment next door, but they don't take care of the grandfather. The old man gets a small monetary support from the city and is on the list to a retirement home, but they don’t have any rooms, and you cannot go to the home unless someone dies first and through that a room becomes available. The old man goes almost every day to the city welfare department to get news about the issue." (AM _ 16313: 12 F 5900: 12)
