what motivates us
As parents, we have the experience to show that not only does the
presence of an braininjuried child in a family not lead to an unhappy existence, but may
lead to numerous opportunities for enrichment, human, moral and social. In fact, as we
have come to understand, thanks to the reality we live everyday, what our natural role is,
we have been able to reinforce the ties of love and affection that are fundamental both
within the family and the community.
The integration of our children in society comes from their families and not from
institutions. It is the families that are part of and integral to society and it is the
families who integrate their children into the community. In spite of the daily
difficulties and the various problems that we have to face with our children, we can say,
even if it sounds absurd, that the solidarity of the other families, of our friends, of
voluntary workers, of this "culture of giving" that surrounds us makes us often
feel that we are very lucky parents!
