GIORGIA’S HOME NEEDS TO RAISE €25,000 BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE NEED INTENSIVE REHABILITATION
Anyone’s life is a unique and unrepeatable gift. In these times, those who know this have a reason to hope.
No superheroes live in this House, but simply a family. Perhaps a bit unconventional, but certainly a happy one.
Stay updated on the story of Giorgia’s House and share it on
By “grace received”—and it is not a joke—we have welcomed 8 biological children, and today the 5 eldest live away from home for study or work, and we have welcomed, through adoption and foster care, 4 other children, who are very fragile because they are “differently disabled.”
Today, in addition to the three teenagers at Giorgia’s House, there are three other “differently disabled” children. Each of our children has acquired, through unfathomable paths, their own family name, and so the little ones are: Pocchio
, Piki
, Maci
and Lillo
This year, significant help is essential. The family income is no longer enough. The three severely disabled children need physiotherapy and additional cognitive therapies. They are very expensive.
At the Bambin Gesù Hospital in Rome, where we are at home for a few months every year, they explained to us that unless the therapies are specialized and intensive, they are of very little use. We travel 6,000 km a year starting from Castelnovo ne’ Monti
To pay for the continuous car trips to Rome and to reach a highly specialized physiotherapist in the province of Lecco, 220 km from home, at least once a week, we need roughly €1,500 per month.
Our home also often needs to be adapted to make it welcoming and functional for the needs especially of the youngest ones, who are growing, changing, and need to discover the world, play, and have fun, like all children.
Some friends have supported us over the years, not only financially, for example, by hosting four of us one night a week in Milan before returning home after physiotherapy in Merate. We urgently seek the generosity of many other friends.
Together we can continue to guarantee Pocchio, Piki, and Maci the necessary therapies, reaching a Cognitive Therapy Center in Emilia at least once a week, and Studio Luca in Merate for physiotherapy and the other treatments they need even more.
Since 2015, when we began welcoming the first of our most fragile little ones, Giorgia’s House has had a varying number of inhabitants.
Pocchio, the first, survives only thanks to the presence of the brainstem, which allows for some essential involuntary functions, such as spontaneous breathing, heartbeat, and only partially automatic temperature control. Piki, adopted in 2017, with a prognosis that, among other things, condemned him to not walking, today, with love and intensive physiotherapy, is taking his first steps and beginning to relate to the world and those who inhabit it. Maci arrived in 2023 with severe damage to the skull and brain; he has two steel bars supporting his spine. Yet, he has begun to move his arms and hands, plays, smiles, and has fun watching cartoons or strumming with two or three hands on the piano.
In 2020 Lillo, our Colombian “narcos,” who went to heaven in February 2025. Too many “substances” that his biological mother would not have wanted to give him. He lived through 22 weeks of pregnancy and weighed 400 g at birth. He was deaf, blind, tetraplegic, epileptic, and had a severe respiratory deficit, yet he was the joy of his mother and father. You should have seen him in the pool too.

LIFE IS TRULY A PRECIOUS AND UNIQUE GIFT FOR EVERYONE
Lately, we are not always able to sleep peacefully. Every smile, every small step, even a gift from you, helps immensely.
WITH YOUR HELP, GIORGIA’S HOUSE WILL ALSO BE A LITTLE BIT YOURS
Together, we will give back a little hope to a world that needs it more and more
