For those who need help, come on are you in?
Fundraising by MARA TROMBETTA
Don Oreste Benzi, founder of the Pope John XXIII Community, had his own way of convincing the people he met to accept his proposals: "Come on, are you in?" he would say, with the serious look and enthusiastic smile of children. And they were proposals that seemed out of this world... instead, thousands of people chose to share the commitment to the side of the least, welcoming them into their homes, taking care of them and making them part of their families. The Community since 1968, the year of its birth, has been concretely committed to combating marginalization and poverty in all its forms.
To Don Benzi's question I chose to answer 'yes'.
Our family has opened itself to welcoming and we still have our dream in the drawer.
I decided to create this page to raise funds for my community brothers and sisters who have personally stood by the last ones - as Franca did - giving their lives every day, every day.
Come on, are you in?
