Fundraising by Cinzia Fummi

Enzo and Orietta are the father and mother of the Mother Teresa Family House, a shelter of the Pope John XXIII Community located in Fiorenzuola d'Arda. Over the years they have given welcome and love to so 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 your 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 the open country 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 beginning to cause so 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 a failure of the well pump.

€17,000 was spent on the construction of the new well. The Community has anticipated the expense but the needs of the more than 500 Family Homes are many and Enzo and Orietta want to find the money to support this expense themselves. Your help is essential to achieve this goal.

I chose to help them because Orietta is my sister, so I know their family well and I want to do everything to help them in their life project.

Let's help them together to regain the serenity and security they need, all it takes is a donation, big or small!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
