Blankets and a new boiler for the Gubbio Project

Blankets and a new boiler at the Gubbio Project! main necessities these days.

It's this one the new appeal launched by the new executive director of the Gubbio Project Shannon Eizenga. 

It's a touching e-mail this one received where the new director explains her worries for the Californian's fires, the heavy situation still lived, the poor situation of an air not completely healthy thanks to the closest fires, keeping in prayers all the people affected by the heavist part of the story. burning houses, burning animals, a complete different existence for most people. 

As we were writing, the boiler at the Church of Saint Boniface is broken and so there is a lack of heat. Worries of Eizenga is that maybe weeks or months will pass without to return at the normality. Let's hope that some donation will restore the heating system with a new boiler for the joy of all the guests at the St.Boniface.

Fall is more than approached and so new, or used, but in very good state blankets are necessary for the guests of the structure.

So, please, Californian friends (but you can live also in another part of the world buying blankets directly via Amazon and sending the donation at the Gubbio Project) donate, donate, donate blankets. Eizenga doesn't specify the number of blankets needed, but the guests of the Gubbio Project are pretty numerous, so please be generous.

A story Eizenga shared in her e-mail the one experienced at the church of St.John where everyday is served a good, robust, warm breakfast to all the guests.

At the end of the breakfast, one of the homeless confessed at the director all his gratitude for their work. "At the Gubbio I am feeling safe and respected." As adds the director: "The Heart of the Gubbio Project is compassion, dignity."

Donate, donate, donate!

I want to remember that you can support the Gubbio Project also through Amazon Smiles.
