Will you help us buy a suitable bus for Shibu?
Fundraising by Attilio Artoni
Today our dream is to be able to purchase a more capacious vehicle suitable for our large family, which, in addition to Shibu, takes in people who need help and a safe place to live. In order to move around, we use a Doblò that is equipped for transporting the disabled but has only three seats plus the wheelchair.
In fact, together with us live Anna, our natural daughter, Maruf, who is the person who has always helped us assist Shibu (as well as being his greatest friend!) along with his wife and two small children. Last but not least, a teenage boy for whom we are awaiting foster care clearance will soon be living with us. We are 9 in all! United by our love for Shibu and the care he needs.
A short while ago we were offered the opportunity to purchase a used but in good condition minibus, with 9 seats and equipped with a handicap platform. A really valuable opportunity for us given the difficulty in getting around. In fact, a simple shopping trip to the supermarket or moving all together on the weekend always requires two cars.
In our daily routine we try to involve Shibu in everything since due to his difficulties he cannot stay in a wheelchair so many hours, but for him to get out and have as normal a life as possible with his family is vital.The amount to cover the cost of the minibus is around 10,000 € and to be able to reach it we need your help.
You can support us in two ways:
- Donate to my fundraiser: any contribution, even the smallest, will make a difference.
- If, on the other hand, you want to do something even bigger, activate a personal fundraiser as welland help us involve many new people we otherwise could not reach by asking your friends, family and colleagues to support you with a donation.
We trust in your generosity to make life less difficult for Shibu and all of us!
