Let's get a special family going again
Valerio and Bianca are the mother and father of the San Francesco Family House of the Pope John XXIII Community, in the town of San Giovanni Lupatoto (VR) and they have always welcomed with love anyone who knocks at their door. Today there are 9 in the family, including 3 children with psychophysical disabilities and special needs. The urgency is to buy a new car, a safe vehicle to replace the one they have, always at the mechanic for repairs. Help this wonderful family to get moving again, every contribution is important!
"Seventeen years ago Bianca and I said our yes, in a church in Verona, asking the Lord and Mary to let us open not only our hearts but also the door of our homes to all those people who would need our simple help." Valerio, St. Francis Family Home.
The adventure of dad Valerio and mom Bianca began with a special meeting, that with Don Oreste Benzi and the intuition that their home could open in a welcoming embrace for anyone seeking the love of a family. And so, together with their three children, so many different people arrived, so many hearts in search of affection and care, so many wounded stories that found tenderness and shared a bit of the road with them.
Their Family House of the Pope John XXIII Community is called "Saint Francis," an important name, their "teacher of life," as Valerio and Bianca like to say. The poor man of Assisi represents stripping himself of everything to be a total gift and that is what happens every time they open the door of their home to those who knock looking for help and a place to stay, finding much more.
Today there are nine in the house. Valerio and Bianca are a dad and mom full of love, but now they find themselves facing a great difficulty: they have to buy a new car. In fact, their old car has a lot of miles on it and very often they have to take it to the mechanic for a repair in an attempt to be able to use it a little more. But it is no longer possible for the family to continue like this. The children have different needs, and three boys have special needs because they have psychophysical disabilities. There is a need for a safe vehicle to transport them and allow them to be accompanied to medical appointments and to the different rehabilitation centers.
Valerio and Bianca have already identified a car suitable for the family's needs with a cost of 13,000€. This is an expense that, at this time, the Pope John XXIII Community, which has to provide for the many needs of more than 500 shelters, cannot sustain. That's why Mom and Dad need you to get back on track and get going again!
