Fundraising by Ester Ghiozzi

Hello I am Ester,

I have known the Pope John XXIII Community for many years and of children reborn thanks to the love and care of the families of this association I know many, some who have become adults and, in turn, distributors of affection.

A few years ago I participated in sharing camps in Romania, for many summers I spent a few weeks in Bucharest doing animation in an institution for minors with disabilities. One of those places that, especially in your twenties, you think cannot exist, where the situation of relational and emotional neglect (basic needs were met) had so compromised the growth of children and young people that they spent their time self-consoling, rocking and with other stereotypes. All other skills were almost impaired and, with many, almost impossible to relate to, they just did not have the abc necessary to interface with another human being.

This lent strength to university studies in developmental psychology, according to which a child needs to receive attention and consideration, to be loved, understood, and to be able to express its physical and emotional needs to the adult, who, in turn, will need to be able to recognize, respond to, and meet them in order to grow in harmony.

So here I am asking for your help to support the "Take Me Home" project - aimed at children with disabilities - that the Community wants to start in Lombardy, to guarantee the right of every child to be taken in by a family, so they can grow up with love.

Dai Ci Stai? Donate for my collection or multiply your help by activating one to share with your friends, just like I did.

Thank you right away for any contributions - even if they are the value of a pizza - and shares!

Ester
