Fundraising campaign and community support team for “La Casa del sole”

Fundraising campaign and community support team
La Casa del Sole is a small, welcoming place in the Abruzzo, located in Bellante (Teramo). Established in 2013 in collaboration with WWOOF Italia, it is a rural home focused on self-sufficiency and welcoming WWOOFers. Its subsistence-based economy relies on exchange and on the processing and sale of natural products.

The emergency: the hailstorm of July 21

After an extremely hot month of June, a sudden and violent hailstorm struck the area around Bellante (Teramo) on July 21. The exceptionally large, sharp-edged hailstones caused severe damage to the land, crops and farm structures:

• The storage shed roof: the hailstones punctured the waterproof roofing membrane and broke numerous underlying roof tiles, putting the materials stored inside at risk.
• Gutters and downpipes: the gutters on both sides of the house were destroyed and will need to be completely replaced, along with the rainwater downpipes
• Vegetable garden, fruit trees and vehicle: the vegetation was severely damaged, and the car was also affected by the hailstorm.

How We Can Help: Goal of €1,500 and community support team

To restore the roof and protect the building, the mutual aid community is stepping up!

1. Fundraising (Goal: €1,500): the funds will be used to purchase the insulated metal sheets needed to replace the shed’s roof.
2. Community support team: Once we’ve raised the necessary funds and purchased the materials, we’ll organize a community work day to install the roofing and repair the damage together.
