Smailers Projects
Every Smailers project begins with an encounter
With a story that asks to be heard
With a person who deserves presence
Here are the steps we have taken and those we are taking, together
“Adopt a Grandparent” is the project where it all began
A simple act born after the earthquake in L’Aquila,
placing relationship — not assistance — at the center.
Giocondo taught us that sometimes,
simply being there is everything
Dominick is 105 years old (he will turn next April)
Born in Italy, he emigrated to the United States
and is an American veteran of World War II
Today, we are working to accompany him in his dream: to return to Italy and play for peace before the Pope
