A minibus for the "Santa Chiara" Family House
There are 12 in the family and unfortunately their bus broke down and getting around has become really difficult! Help them buy a new vehicle so they can get back to normal daily activities!
We are Nunzio and Naide, father and mother of the Casa Famiglia "Santa Chiara" of the Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII and we live in Nidastore, a small village in the municipality of Arcevia (AN). There are 11 of us in the family: in addition to our 4 natural children Giulia, Gianluca, Gabriella and Filippo, there is Maria, an epileptic with very severe mental retardation, Elvira with medium-severe mental retardation, Andrea, a bipolar with mental retardation, Gloria, a girl who is expecting a baby and Gabriella, the youngest of the family who is only 3 years old.
Nidastore, the place where we live, is a small village of less than 50 inhabitants in the hills of the Marche, half an hour's drive from everything! Besides us and another Family House of the Community, here there are only very lonely elderly people left and this is the "poverty" to which we have responded with sharing and love: a different poverty, of attention, love and listening.
Unfortunately, however, there are no services here, and in order to reach the schools, the specialized centers for our children with disabilities, or simply to go shopping, we are forced to travel many kilometers every day and several times a day.
We used to have a minibus that allowed us to move all together but unfortunately it broke down and it is not possible to repair it. Now we are using a car, but with only 5 seats we always have to make more turns to be able to take everyone. The minibus is essential for us to move around, to take children and young people to school, to sports, recreational and musical activities, for all the normal daily activities and to move together as a family.
This sudden expense was not foreseeable and the Community, which already takes care of the many needs of our and other Family Homes, at this time does not have the resources to purchase our minibus. This is why, together, we have decided to launch this fundraiser: we are asking for help from all of you, friends, near and far!
We need your help to buy a new minibus: to transport the people who live in our Family House and the others we will still be able to welcome.
