Scampia, little Raffaele donates his toys, accompanied by a letter, to displaced children

Scampia, little Raffaele donates his toys accompanied by a letter to the children displaced of Scampia. Fundraising campaign for the families of the victims on gofundme.

“Hi, I'm Raffaele and I'm from Scampia too” This is how the letter begins, written by a child who decided to donate his toys to other children in his neighborhood who had to leave their homes.

“I am so sorry to think of all those children who have been left homeless – Raffaele continues – and that right now they are so sad. I thought of sharing my toys with them because I also want to help them in some way and I hope to see them smile. I hope that these characters keep them company as they did with me. I love you, even if I don't know you yet”.

“Raffaele's is a beautiful gesture that all of Italy should take as an example – says Francesco Emilio Borrelli – A national solidarity campaign is needed to stand by the families who are experiencing dramatic moments to say the least.

With Ciro Corona, from the Gelsomina Verde center, we visited the families of the victims who at this moment need everyone's support; they are mourning the dead, they are in tribulation for the relatives still hospitalized and no longer have a home.

We must keep our attention high and stand by the victims, who have launched a fundraiser for support and sustenance. I hope there will be a great response from all Napoli and all of Italy, following the gesture of little Raffaele. On Monday there will be the funerals of the victims in Piazza Giovanni Paolo II, in Scampia, I will be there and I ask the President of the Council, Giorgia Meloni, to do the same.

We are facing a national tragedy, a foretold massacre of Italian citizens, and I believe that the government must make these people feel its closeness, it cannot turn away"Francesco Emilio Borrelli, MP for the Green Alliance – Left, concluded.

“At the moment, in our center, we are hosting 39 people, including 15 children. After theemergency of basic necessities, we are now facing a social emergency – Ciro Corona tells – These children continue to be denied their right to childhood, we must support these families by all means.

In these hours we are witnessing gestures of great generosity like Raffaele's, a demonstration of how the new generations are growing, of how good becomes contagious and manages to change things".
