Episode description: In the village of Milosevo near Jagodina, in a modest home, the twelve-member Ilic-Todorovic family lives, without a kitchen with walls destroyed by moisture. Aleksandra Ilic and Dragan Todorovic are the parents of nine children, four girls and five boys. They both have one marriage behind them and children who have been living with them for the six years that they have been together. They also have three children together. The oldest boy, Aleksandra’s son Diamant (17) suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, uses a wheelchair, has difficulty speaking and according to the doctors’ prognosis, there is no possibility of cure. Son Giuliano (15), a student at a culinary high school, fell in love with cooking because he helps his mother and cooks for the family. Daughter Angela (12) doesn’t like to cook, but that’s why she looks after her younger sisters Teodora (3) and Teona (2). Three more sons are David (10), Jovan (11), Aleksa (12) and Teodor (5). The “Work Action with Tamara” show crew solved a terrible moisture problem in the house, and then completely renovated the bathroom and built the kitchen, which the house did not have. The insulation and facade have been done so that the problem with moisture does not repeat. At first glance, a small and unconditioned house has been renovated into a home that will provide the children with a safe and happy upbringing.
