A bus to Shibu
Fundraising by Gelateria Faro
Hello everyone!!! Today we want to share with you this fundraiser that is close to our hearts.
As you know Sara, Gabriele's daughter, after living in Bangladesh for twelve years as a missionary of the Pope John XXIII Community, returned here to Italy with Shibu-a boy with disabilities suffering from severe infantile cerebral palsy-adopted him and now lives with her husband Attilio in a rectory in the province of Reggio Emilia.
Their family has since expanded with the arrival of Anna, their natural daughter. The same roof is then shared with Maruk, his wife Lipi and their two young children. Last but not least, there will be the arrival of another teenage boy, for whom they are awaiting foster care authorization.
9 in all!!! And all united by their love for Shibu. But the Doblò they have now no longer meets their daily needs, and the desire is to also have another vehicle that is larger and equipped for people with disabilities.
Support our fundraiser with a donation and let's all help them reach the total goal of €10,000 together!
Shibu is a miracle of life! When Sara met him he was 2 years old, malnourished and with little hope of survival. Now he lives surrounded by love. For him to have a means to live as normal a life as possible with his family is vital. Thank you for what you donate!

The fundraiser supports the project: A bus for a family without borders
Total project goal:
10.000 €
The family of Shibu, who suffers from infantile cerebral palsy, currently has a Doblò equipped for transporting the disabled but has only three seats plus a wheelchair. In order for the whole family to move together for daily chores or to experience special moments, they need to buy a larger van. Help them cover the cost of a used minibus, 10,000€ is needed. Now your help is vital because for Shibu to have as normal a life as possible with his family is vital.
