On the morning of February 19, 2026, the distribution of the 2025 Friendship Thirteenth-Month Bonuses officially came to a close. This milestone fills us with pride, but above all with deep gratitude toward all of you who, once again, chose to join us in this effort with all your hearts.
Thanks to your help and your tireless generosity, we were able to reach and support approximately 2,500 elderly people in need. Our solidarity relay covered miles to ensure no one was left behind, delivering a €500 check to 14 municipalities across Piedmont and Liguria: Turin, Imperia, Sanremo, Pinerolo, Carmagnola, Vercelli, Asti, Pianezza, Settimo Torinese, Biella, Cuneo, Novara, Verbania, and Nichelino.
The fundraiser raised a total of 1,246,000 euros. But behind these large numbers lie real stories, silent struggles, and lives that have found new hope. Every single check delivered helped pay overdue bills, buy medicine, or cover groceries, contributing to a more peaceful Christmas and start to the new year for all our lonely seniors. It warmed a home, but above all, it warmed a heart, carrying the most important message: you are not alone.
During the deliveries, many of them were generous enough to confide their fears and dreams to us, sharing their life stories.
If you wish to give a face and a voice to your donation, we invite you to read their testimonials in the news section of our website.
Once again: thank you for being the driving force behind this great family
