(ANSA) – MILAN, 02 JAN – The Assistance Fund of Caritas Ambrosiana intervened to help it pay the overdue condominium expenses and guarantee an autonomous heating system. But the goal is to relocate to work. The intervention of the charity – and other private donors – is a beacon of light and hope for Chiara, 52, with a 13-year-old son. The lady, after losing her job, could only stay in the cold since the building on the outskirts of Milan, where she lives in a two-room apartment, switched from centralized to autonomous heating, but she could not afford her own system. The story is told today by the site and by the paper version of Corriere della Sera which in recent days had launched a sort of appeal.
Chiara (invented name), separated and unemployed, has to pay the mortgage on the house. It has lived in the cold for six years. Alternate cleaning chores with that of a caregiver. She and her son survive thanks to a small electric air conditioner: “In the morning I set it to the maximum temperature. It doesn’t heat up, it just needs to not feel the cold of the night on me,” she explains. The sliding of a worker towards poverty begins with a ‘classic’ step: the outsourcing of her employment contract. “I was serving the floors at the Principe di Savoia hotel in Piazza della Repubblica, then we switched to a cooperative and after a while I was no longer needed”, he says. And the pandemic has made it even more difficult for her to find stable employment.
He gets by on the citizenship income, 600 euros a month, but 360 go away for the mortgage, with the rest he does the shopping. Now the intervention of Caritas and some benefactors gives her concrete hope. (HANDLE).
