Impossible to get used to the good

At Sermig it is impossible to get used to doing good. Every day we have proof of how many people can't wait to have anything other than the chance to spend themselves for others. Nikita has returned to start treatment again, he is dejected and tired. He expressed the desire to go to a concert: we manage to get free tickets, but he needs someone to accompany him. No sooner said than done: Marina offers herself. Daniar has to undergo surgery, his mother accompanies him to the hospital, but his little brother cannot remain alone. We remember the teacher's promise: "If I can be of service, don't hesitate to call me." Dangerous words at Sermig where you can always be useful and there is always something to do.

The teacher Claudia will host Subi as long as necessary, while the mother will be in the hospital with Daniar. She opened the doors to her house naturally. Every day we realize that we cannot do everything, that we do not have the time, energy, material resources to respond to all needs, but the presence of many good and available friends every day, in simplicity and without too many proclamations, carries out all the projects from Sermig, from the smallest to the most demanding ones. We feel the need to promptly note down everything donated to thank and fill ourselves with amazement. The biscuit sealer has melted and just an hour later we get a call: Raffaella is turning 50 and wants to share her celebration with us, she will ask all her friends for a special birthday gift. We need an extra scale for vegetables, ice cream and everything else. Giovanni will take care of it. Truly behind everything at Sermig there is the concrete face of a person who wanted to make his contribution to carry forward the good and never take it for granted
