First two women arrived in January: a mother and daughter. The younger woman had lost her limbs, the baby she was carrying and two other young children in a bombing in Gaza. She was immediately admitted to a hospital in Rome, where she received the necessary treatment. Long months of rehabilitation followed, during which she attended language classes to be able to communicate in her new environment and received constant visits from new friends. Then, in May, came the joy of the arrival of the rest of her family. When her youngest daughter saw her mother in a wheelchair, with the spontaneity of children, she jumped into her arms and said, “When I'm tired, I want to walk like that too!”. That day, the war ended for D. She smiled again and found hope. Today she lives in Rome, in a house provided by the community, and proceeds with her therapy.
