Helping the Farigliano Hut

The Don Oreste Benzi Hut in Farigliano, a reality of the Pope John XXIII Community designed to welcome the poor, the less fortunate and give them a family, has over the years become a true point of reference for those in situations of serious difficulty.The facility, located at the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace in Mellea, currently houses 25 people who are offered not only welcome and protection, but also the possibility of being accompanied both for the various daily activities of social and labor reintegration, and to make the medical examinations they need. The transportation service is provided by a minibus which, however, is now heavily worn and requires constant maintenance expenses that are no longer sustainable.Therefore, there is an urgent need to purchase a new minibus, the cost of which is 22,000€. With your help, we can help them achieve this important goal and ensure that the people taken in can rebuild their future and take care of their health.I chose to do my part by activating this fundraiser because I started attending the Mellea shrine during a terrible time in my life. Our Lady welcomed me under Her Mantle by letting me meet wonderful people, just when I felt I could no longer trust anyone. Jonah the house manager, Father Thaddeus and the boys of the Mellea Shrine welcomed me and I felt "at home."Here there are sincere smiles, heart-warming hugs. Fraternal communion is truly experienced in this place of Hope !Help me too by supporting this project with a donation. Every contribution is so important to help them buy the bus they need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
