The idea we came up with the face of that death all'insensatezza: Sergio Manuel, 54, Sardinian by birth and adoption of Turin. Killed by the freezing cold the first night the week with us at Christmas, with the darkness illuminated by lights, by the glimmering of the windows and jaw. So why not do something yourself? Why not make a plea in defense of life to the institutions, the readers, to the citizens? "CronacaQui - then we wrote in a statement issued by major national news agency - in Turin and Milan is donating hundreds of sleeping bags to homeless people at risk for the deadly cold. The newspaper appealed to the mayors and presidents Chiamparino, and Cota Moratti, Formigoni, Podesta and Saitta so too do their part. It appeals to the other newspapers, radio, on TV, in Citizens to its readers: Give a sleeping bag to see who sleep on the streets. With a few euro you can save a life. "
An appeal that has not fallen on deaf ears. Mayor Sergio Chiamparino also asked how to participate personally in the initiative: "Give me the details for the donation, I am ready to do my part." "As mayor, however, say that the facilities for the reception there are a shame to have the attendance rates of 35 percent. Too many still look askance dormitories public. " And no sooner had news of our appeal for the life, the regional president Roberto Cota immediately instructed its offices to take action to support the homeless in every way: 'The meritorious initiative CronacaQui can not go to my praise and encouragement - said the governor -. I am proud as a Piedmont Turin can count on a daily genuine and always in direct contact with the real everyday life of our citizens and is capable of great moments of solidarity as this campaign. Already now available to give all the relevant regional offices to offer concrete support to the initiative. The region will do its part and will pull 'back. " On the same wavelength is also the president of the province Antonio Saitta, "The Chronicle Here it is worthwhile initiative for the sensitivity and timeliness that in this case marks the tested. The Province of Turin is willing to collaborate as much as possible: the biting cold these days so it could also outline a civil protection assistance towards the homeless and the Piedmont Region will decide whether to intervene, as always, we will play our part. "
Meanwhile, yesterday began the distribution of the first sleeping bags, first among men and women in line for a hot meal at the table of Nursery Night Umberto I Via Ormea and then among the destitute who gather each night under the arches of Porta Nuova. Many stories and a single word: "Thank you so much, they were all like you."
