In Pianura , a promise was kept when Alessandro, a young disabled man whose adapted car was stolen last January, was once again provided with a means of transport thanks to the generosity of the community.
Thanks to the collaboration with Gianni Simioli's program La Radiazza, the deputy of Alleanza Verdi – Sinistra Francesco Emilio Borrelli launched a fundraiser that allowed Alessandro to be given back his freedom of movement.
The stolen car was replaced and delivered to Pianura. This was a story of solidarity involving many good citizens and an anonymous entrepreneur who offered to cover any amount needed to reach the goal.
Francesco Emilio Borrelli commented that this story shows the strength of the other Naples, the one in solidarity, which defeated the criminals and gave Alessandro a smile back. Thanking the young man's family, who faced the difficult situation with dignity and hope in the support of the Neapolitans.
“A beautiful story of solidarity. Thanks to the generosity of many good citizens, thanks to an entrepreneur who preferred to remain anonymous but who guaranteed to cover any amount to reach the goal, thanks to Radiazza, the many benefactors and the newspapers that relaunched the solidarity race, we have given Alessandro back his smile.
This is thanks to the other Naples, the supportive one that we like and love, and that has shown once again that it is possible to defeat criminals, even the most ruthless ones who have no qualms about stealing a disabled person's car. We thank Alessandro's family who has shown great dignity in facing this enormous difficulty without ever losing hope in the support of the Neapolitans". Thus Francesco Emilio Borrelli, deputy of Alleanza Verdi – Sinistra.
“We thank all the people who gave us a hand with a big hug, they deserve so much credit and it is thanks to them that we made our son's dream come true”, is the emotional comment of the parents of the 36-year-old who, having climbed into the car with the stroller together with Borrelli and his parents, was finally able to go for a walk again.
