Together we can

Enzo and Orietta are the father and mother of the Mother Teresa Family House, a shelter of the Pope John XXIII Community that takes in people who are alone and have disabilities. Over the years they have given welcome and love to many people with very painful stories behind them: drug addicts, alcoholics, people living on the streets, girls forced into slavery, teenagers, children, people with mental problems and prisoners.Now the Family House needs help: to be able to finance the expenses for the new well they had to build in order to always have water available for the daily needs of the whole family. Until now, living in Fiorenzuola d'Arda (PC) in the open countryside and not being connected to the aqueduct, they have been using water from the neighbor's well, which, however, being more than 40 years old, is starting to cause many problems, forcing Enzo and Orietta to often use jerry cans and bottles, as well as a purification plant to make the water even drinkable. Added to all this is the constant worry of being without water in case of a power outage or well pump failure.A total of €17,000 was spent on the construction of the new well. The Community has anticipated the expenses but the needs of the more than 500 Family Homes scattered all over the world are many and Enzo and Orietta want to find the money to support this expense themselves and help the Community of which they are a part. I personally chose to help them because I met in Viareggio people who, like them, lead their lives in Family Homes and I was very impressed by their vocational choice so radical and so little known. A true choice of love. I would like our fundraiser to help this Community family with a truly essential need. I tell you right away my greatest thanks, for this Special Gift!
