The Lions are mobilizing to find funds and prevent the closure of the reception house in Cagliari, which hosts cancer outpatients, organ transplants or people suffering from other important diseases and family carers from all over the island.

The Lions Care Home is made up of 26 residential units and common areas (kitchen area, living room and dining room, a chapel, a garden) and is located near the Businco, Microcitemico and Brotzu hospitals.

Over the years it has hosted over 200,000 patients who have been able to stay during long periods of therapy in a day hospital. A very useful place to welcome people who are going through a difficult time.

The shelter does not benefit from public subsidies and is based on 5x100, on donations from private individuals and on fundraising initiatives. The economic situation has worsened, the Lions say, due to "the unsustainable increases in utility costs on the one hand and the drop in donations on the other". And precisely “at the moment when the post Covid resumption of all health activities makes the hospital once again popular and indispensable”.

Hence a series of fund-raising activities. The first is the staging at the Teatro Massimo of Cagliari of the show "Doll's House", scheduled for 4 and 6 November.

The choice of this play, the Lions explain, "is also linked to the need to support women in a world that often marginalizes them by depriving them of the most elementary freedoms". Doll's House is a play written by H. Ibsen in 1879, inspired by a true story.
