Always in their hearts the desire to give the least of these a family and a better future
Perprim and Eriselda are the dad and mom of the "Patrizia Gardini" Family House in Nenshat, a small village in Albania.
Eriselda felt a calling to become a foster mom from an early age. At the age of 14, after visiting a family home of the Pope John XXIII Community and seeing the unconditional love with which fragile and lonely people were welcomed, she received confirmation of what she had always felt in her heart: her destiny was to give them a family and a better future.
Along her path Eriselda met Perprim - now her husband - who, fascinated by her vocation and her life of sharing with the least of these, decided to follow and support her, opening a family home together.
A car to live fully busy days
There are currently 8 of them in the home: in addition to their natural son Teodor, 1 ½ years old, two little brothers, Kledi, 7 years old, and Mario, 5 years old, Flora, 45 years old, Marinella, 32 years old, and, finally, Zef, 69 years old, Eriselda's father, with health problems.
The days are busy and full of commitments: between shopping, doctor's visits, school, extracurricular activities and moments of leisure, there is often the need to reach the city, forty minutes away. These constant commutes become a problem, especially when Perprim is away on business.
So now they need our help to be able to afford the cost of a seven-seater car, capable of accommodating the whole family and allowing them to be able to move all together, without being forced to make double trips, as is often the case now.
The cost of the car is €5,500: with your support, we can help them reach their goal and enable them to meet the cost of the vehicle they urgently need. A precious gift that can really make a difference in their daily lives.
You can support this project in two ways:
- Donate to an already active personal fundraiser: any contribution, even the smallest, will make a difference.
- If, on the other hand, you want to do something even bigger, activate a personal fundraiser and help us engage many new people we otherwise could not reach by asking your friends, family and colleagues to support you with a donation.
Other ways to donate:
You can also donate by bank transfer or postal bulletin.
