Two buses to bring help
The Bethlehem Hut in Montodine (CR) of the Pope John XXIII Community is the home of those who once lived on the streets, where they can start a new life. The 11 people who now live here want to give back the help they received. So they collect food and surpluses from local supermarkets and deliver them to families in need. They also collect furniture that someone donates, disassemble it, transport it and reassemble it in the homes of those who do not have enough resources to buy it. Today there is an urgent need to replace the two vans used for these activities. Help them not to stop, every contribution is important!
The Bethlehem Hut in Montodine (CR) of the Pope John XXIII Community is the home of those who have lost everything, those who used to live on the streets and are finally able to start over.
Today there are 11 adults living here permanently and participating in the life of this large family ready to welcome the homeless. These young people, formerly "on the other side," have received love, care and in turn want to give it back to those who need help.
So they set to work and decided to take care of the recovery of food surpluses from supermarkets to distribute them to families in need in the area, and they make themselves available to collect those pieces of furniture that are donated to those who do not have the ability to buy them and to assemble them in homes.
These are activities that require commitment, perseverance and, above all, adequate means of transportation, but those used now are more than 20 years old! Breakdowns are frequent and have far exceeded 350,000 km. There is really a risk of being stranded! We have found two used but suitableminibuses, which we could buy for €32,000. This is an expense that the Pope John XXIII Community, which has to provide for the many needs of more than 500 shelters, cannot sustain alone. That is why you are urgently needed!
We want to find people who will help the Hut boys, and all of us who live with them every day, to continue this work. It makes them feel useful and that they have regained their dignity.
Together we can raise the amount needed to purchase the two buses so we can reach out to those who need help.
Donate, now and create your own fundraiser to share with your friends and family. The net is widening, together we reach the finish line, and the guys at the Hut will be able to help families in need and the homeless also thanks to your contribution! Let's not stop them! Come on, are you in!
