Description and Reasons

Give a loving gesture for International Day of Families: support the “ABF with You, To Shape a Future of Peace” project, dedicated to the Ukrainian families welcomed by the network of communities of the Foundation in the municipalities of Muccia, San Ginesio and Pieve Torina. 

The goal is to restore a dignified life to the refugee families by giving them a safe environment, access to education and social and financial support so they can begin again.

Every donation will go towards purchasing basic necessities, expenses for cultural and linguistic mediation and guaranteeing the presence of an emergency psychologist on site. What’s more, your invaluable donation will allow children access to ABF’s educational projects.

And with a donation of 100 Euro (or more) you will guarantee a week of activities at the “Summer Camp” in Muccia for one of the Ukrainian children welcomed by ABF and its network.

For this, the Foundation will be happy to say “THANK YOU” by sending you a pair of ABF keychains engraved with one of the words of our mission. Please confirm your shipping information at gc@andreabocellifoundation.org.

A loving gesture that is worth double!

 

STORIES OF MOTHERS

IRINA

Irina used to work in Chernihiv, a city in northern Ukraine, in the clerk's office at the Court of Law for a judge who was shot dead in front of her eyes.

She decided to leave her home and flee with her 4 children and husband in search of a safe place.

Today Irina is taking Italian culture and language courses, assisted by psychological support and ABF’s multidisciplinary team. Her children regularly attend classes at the “E. De Amicis” School Complex in Muccia, after undergoing a 3-week workshop-based educational pathway of acclimatization and socialization.

“We are grateful that we’ve arrived in Muccia.

They put a roof over our heads, gave us food and gave our children the opportunity to attend school from the very beginning”.

 

JULIA

 

Julia left her mother, husband and nephews in Dnipro.   

“In Krakow, the coordinator informed us that we had the option of fleeing to Italy. We made the decision in less than 10 minutes, with the hope that we would be in good hands. And that’s what happened. They warmly welcomed us with great humanity here in Muccia.

Today Muccia has become a second home for us.”

 

TATIANA

 

Tatiana escaped from Dnipro.

“I left everything. Absolutely everything. My family, friends, my home, my life. I arrived in Muccia with my daughter. The people here have been very welcoming”.
