In December 2022, our toy drive spread holiday cheer within the pediatrics department of the Gemelli Hospital. The success of this exciting...
We want to help to fund the hospital's remarkable project, the Casa Gemelli, which envisages the construction of a six-room building where families of hospitalized patients can stay free of charge to accompany their loved ones during their medical journey. Out-of-town patients will be able to receive out-patient care at Gemelli through accessing Casa Gemelli accommodation, while out of town families will be able to be present and support the healing of their family members. Every day in Italy, 240 children need to leave their hometowns to find cures, and this project aims to support them to realize their medical needs with their parents at their side.
