A chain of solidarity
Franca and Marco are the managers of the "Santa Paola" Family Home, a welcoming reality of the Pope John XXIII Community, located in Roncofreddo in the province of Forlì-Cesena.
The real treasure and strength of the house are their children at heart: Elio, Antonio, Mirco and Albena. Now adults, with the passage of time they have become the real protagonists of family life: capable of transmitting that warmth and trust that immediately makes anyone arriving from very fragile and critical situations feel at home, including often pregnant women who have given birth to their babies here.
Unfortunately, the minibus the family has in use has become very old and requires constant and costly maintenance. For this reason, Franca and Marco have expressed the need to replace the minibus with another one in good condition, not only for the family's many trips, but also for the activities of home life and especially for Antonio, who is wheelchair-bound and needs a means of transportation equipped with a platform.
In the Pope John XXIII Community, needs are addressed together, as a true family. So Grazia, a longtime member of the Community, made available the equipped minibus she had for her son Nicola, taken in and raised from a young age, who recently ascended to heaven.
However, in lieu of the minibus, Grazia would need a used car, worth €15,000, to enable her to continue her precious mission.
With your help, we can make this chain of solidarity a reality by giving concrete support to Franca, Marco and Grazia!
