A place where life can be shared
The kitchen of the "San Giovanni Battista" Community, a residential facility for young people with addiction and mental health problems of the "Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII" Cooperative, is the place where the young people share their lives and begin their path to redemption, but there is a problem: it is now obsolete and needs to be renovated. Help the young people and give new life to the Community's kitchen: for them the future starts from here.
Don Oreste Benzi used to say that recognizing the dignity of a person to every individual also means giving everyone what they legitimately need.
It is according to this logic that the "San Giovanni Battista" Community, a shelter for adults belonging to the "Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII" Social Cooperative,is committed to offering young people with addiction and mental health problems an opportunity for the future.
Those who had been marginalized, here find a familiar environment, people who recognize them as a valuable member of society, and from here their path to recovery begins.
Everything starts from the sharing of every day, between operators, volunteers and the people welcomed, who in this climate increase their desire for redemption, sense of responsibility and willingness to do their best to change. But this is not enough. It is necessary to have adequate facilities and it is important to have them now because the future of these young people starts today.
At themoment the urgent need in the house is the kitchen, now obsolete, which needs to be renovated in accordance with current regulations with the purchase of new equipment and appliances. The path to recovery for the boys also passes through this place, the kitchen. It is here that they share, every day, the moment of meals, which is not only "eating together", but putting life in communion. They start again from here, from the small gestures, from the daily efforts, learning to take care of this space, feeling responsible for the tasks assigned to each one, just as one does in a family.
Renovating the kitchen has a cost of €20,000. It is necessary to find the resources as soon as possible, so that the "San Giovanni Battista" continues to be a welcoming home, a family environment in which the boys begin a new journey towards reintegration into society. For this they need your help!
Createyour own fundraiser, share it with relatives, friends and colleagues or support those who have already opened one with a donation. Give new life to the kitchen of the boys of the Community "San Giovanni Battista": for them the future starts from here.
