A minibus for the Santa Libera family home
Fundraising by Giulio Pretto
Angelo and Cecilia are father and mother of the "Santa Libera" Family House of the Pope John XXIII Community. They live in Malo, a small town in the province of Vicenza, and their encounter with Don Oreste Benzi's charism happened when they were a young married couple, parents of little Serena. Since then they turn their lives upside down and open the doors of their home to those who are alone and with nothing .
The choice to be Family House comes when their lives cross that of Lara, a little girl with severe cognitive deficits, abandoned in the hospital. Angelo and Cecilia become father and mother to this little girl, choosing to take her in and love her. The sacrifices are many, but the choice to open their hearts is renewed every day for her and for others.
Today Serena, Benedetta and Rachele, the oldest daughters, have married and live elsewhere, while with dad Angelo and mom Cecilia live five children: along with Lara, Gioele, Danijel, Leonardo and Cindy, all teenagers.
For their daily commute, they have always been accompanied by their faithful minibus, which, along with them, has experienced all kinds of things. Over the years, all the children have traveled, played, and slept in it, but now the old vehicle needs to be replaced because it has reached 350,000 km and is no longer a safe transportation.
It is urgent to find the resources to purchase a new bus so that this wonderful family can continue to travel for everyday needs and the kids have the opportunity to all go out with mom and dad together! The cost for a new vehicle amounts to €19,500. This is an expense that the Pope John XXIII Community, which has to provide for the many needs of more than 500 foster care settings, cannot sustain alone. That's why our help is important!
Donatenow so that this large family can reach the finish line aboard a new and safe minibus. Every contribution is crucial and without you we cannot make it! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
