Help us buy a new minibus for our group home

We are Roberto and Daniela from the “Beata Vergine delle Grazie” Group Home in Fossano, and we have an urgent crisis: after 14 years of service, our minibus has finally given out. Today, there are 10 of us living here, including people with disabilities and frail adults. For us, the minibus isn’t just a means of transportation—it’s the lifeblood of our community: we need it for school, doctor’s appointments, outings, and our daily independence.The cost of a new vehicle is €40,000. Providence has already given us a great gift by providing us with €20,000; we still need the other half—€20,000—to start the engine and get back on the road! Married in 1992 by Father Oreste Benzi, we embraced his dream of giving a family to those who don’t have one, opening our doors to many young people and sharing with them joys, struggles, and even the most painful moments. Years ago, we accompanied pregnant young women and welcomed new lives into the world, experiencing together the beauty of mutual support that transforms us from within. Our children have grown up sharing space and affection, learning to be brothers and sisters to everyone. Today, however, our daily lives have come to a standstill because without a minibus, our mobility is severely limited. We need your help to cover this last kilometer together. Even a small donation will make a difference and allow us to travel again. Help our big family keep moving forward!

The fundraiser supports the project: A minibus for Daniela and Roberto's group home
Total project goal: 40.000 €

The “Beata Vergine delle Grazie” Group Home in Fossano is home to 10 people, including minors and adults with disabilities. After 14 years of service, their only minibus has broken down beyond repair, bringing daily transportation to a halt for school, therapy, and leisure activities. Will you help us raise the remaining €20,000 to purchase a new vehicle and get these young people’s lives back on track? Every donation counts.
