Let's Help Francesca and Giragirasole

My name is Elisa, and I want to tell you about Francesca, a young woman with a disability who lives with my parents as a foster child.For her, Giragirasole is much more than just a center: it’s one of the few places in Fano where she can meet other young people, participate in activities designed for her, build relationships, and truly feel like part of a group.It’s also an important anchor for our family. Thanks to the educators there, Francesca can have experiences that are essential for her growth, and my parents receive practical support in her daily care.Today, however, the center is at risk of closing. Without new funding, it will not be able to reopen in October, cutting short the progress made over the years and leaving a huge void for Francesca, the other young people, and their families.By September 18, we need to raise 30,000 euros to ensure the educators remain on staff—they are indispensable in providing each child with attentive and consistent support.That’s why I’ve decided to support the project with this personal fundraising effort. Every donation, no matter how small, can help keep Giragirasole open and allow Francesca and so many other children to continue growing, spending time together, and feeling welcomed.Let’s work together to ensure we don’t lose this very important place.

The fundraiser supports the project: Let's help the Giragirasole Center stay open
Total project goal: 30.000 €

The Giragirasole Community Center, founded as an initiative of the Pope John XXIII Community, has been operating since 2012 in the heart of the Marche region, in Fano in the province of Pesaro-Urbino. Its goal has always been to offer young people with disabilities a space where they can express themselves and grow. Now they need your help to raise, by September 18, 2026, the €30,000 needed to cover the costs of additional educators, who are essential for guiding each young person and helping them realize their full potential.
