Help us make our chain of solidarity a reality

We are Franca and Marco and we are the managers of the Family House "St. Paula," a hospitality organization of the Pope John XXIII Community. The real treasure of our home are our heart children: Elio, Antonio, Mirco and Albena. By now they are adults and have become the real protagonists of our family life: with their empathy and warmth they are able to make anyone arriving from very fragile and critical situations feel immediately "at home." As in all families, we now have a problem to solve: the minibus we have in use is now very old and we need to replace it with a new one, which is indispensable not only for the numerous movements of our family, but also for the activities of home life and especially for Antonio, who is forced to live in a wheelchair and needs a means of transportation equipped with a platform. Do you know how it works in the Community? Needs are addressed together, like a real and big family, which is why Grazia, a long-time member of the Community who lives in the province of Cuneo, donated to us the equipped minibus she had for her son Nicola, whom she welcomed and loved since he was a child, and who recently ascended to heaven.However, in lieu of the minibus, Grazia would need a used car, worth €15,000, to enable her to continue her precious mission. For this we have activated a fundraiser and need your help!With your support we can turn this chain of solidarity into a concrete reality.
