Female 64 years Iranian
Oma- tai vuokra-asunto, Uusimaa
Description of everyday life
I am a 64-year-old woman from Iran, and I've been living in Finland with my spouse for 13 years now. We have a rental apartment in the Uusima region, and my day usually starts with house chores, working outside, cleaning, shopping, and cooking. I also make sure to take a walk every day to keep myself active and healthy.
Despite struggling with diabetes and other health issues, I am grateful for the peace and good health I have every day. I am a strong-willed woman who makes my own decisions and enjoys being independent. I am always eager to learn and interested in digital technology, but my economic status prevents me from buying everything I desire.
I feel safe in Finland and in my own house. My husband and sometimes friends help me with chores, and I go to physiotherapy once a week. I am also involved in community work and participate in an organization for the elderly. Luckily, my house is located near amenities, so I don't have to travel far for groceries.
I own a mobile phone, but I don't know how to use all its features. I am open to technology and believe that it could be useful to me if I learned more about it. My important people are my spouse, children, sisters, and grandchildren. Although I don't know my neighbors well, I feel content with my life and am grateful for the peace and health I have.
In difficult times, I encourage myself to keep moving forward. I believe that peace and health are the most important things in life, and I always remind myself of that. Despite my struggles, I remain optimistic and look forward to each day with hope and gratitude.
