Fundraising by Francesca Gracioli

Hi, I am Francesca and I work for GRD in Faenza (Association of Parents of Children with Disabilities). I met GRD years ago, I appreciated and admired it so much right away for the young, prosthetic, respectful and professional environment!

I have a brother with Trisomy 21 who at times has been a part of different activities and I have a different eye here, no longer an operator, I can assure that the welfare of the kids is always first!

Every day I fill my life with the boys living in the Homes of Autonomy, experiencing step by step their every progress, success, but not only that... I savor their personal satisfaction in being empowered, respected with dignity.

Here, we develop daily living skills, learn coexistence and self-determination!

Each person living in these homes keeps their keys and a dream with them: to become independent.

I ask for your help because these houses need maintenance, and if we can't fix them up and make them safe and adequate to the needs of the kids, we will be in more and more trouble to keep the project going. The total amount of work is 15,000€, I am sure that together we can reach this goal! That's what this fundraiser is for, to join forces and find the resources that will allow us to do the necessary work.

"Why do you like living here?"

"Because I do it on my own.

I will fight for the dream to come true!
