The story starts here
Just as pain can bring out an unexpected strength, so Gabriele's illness initiated a radical change. That personal suffering, which could have marked an end, became the engine of an association born for dignity and inclusion. Instead of seeing the illness as a limitation, I chose to transform that pain into a positive force, a source of inspiration to give those who live in similar situations the chance to rediscover their dignity and calling.
The History of the Haide Gabriele Association represents a struggle for empowerment, showing how resilience can transform adversity into opportunity. The association was born to offer a place that doesn't focus on the condition or the label "disabled" or "ill," but instead puts the person at the center, with their potential, their dignity, and their right to a full life.
From Tears to Strength
The journey began with the awareness that every experience, no matter how painful, contains within it the seed of transformation. The experience that marked the history of the Haide Gabriele Association fueled the desire to create an environment where suffering does not become stigmatization, but a starting point for personal and collective rebirth. Difficulties have been reinterpreted as opportunities for growth, hope, and change.
The Gyerünk project
Our story originates from that shared suffering, from the moment we decided to transform pain into an opportunity. Our projects, such as the Ibolya Center and Gyerünk, reflect this vision. Our goal is to create an environment where training, social services, and innovation come together to offer:
Multidisciplinary training pathways, where each person can develop their potential through "learning by doing" and a continuous exchange of skills.
Integrated social services at the Ibolya Center, where hospice and Long Term Care (LTC) programs provide a support system that doesn't label, but rather welcomes and values the person in their entirety.
Innovation and environmental and territorial sustainability, which guide us in choosing eco-friendly methods and advanced technologies, with the aim of enhancing the natural and cultural resources of our territory.
The Roots of Our Collective Tree
We want to imagine our story as a tree whose growth is fueled by shared values:
Our roots are made up of responsibility, solidarity, inclusion, innovation, and respect for the territory. These values, born from pain and the desire to give dignity to those who suffer, form the foundation on which every one of our actions rests.
Our branches extend through the initiatives we are designing: training pathways, assistance projects, and integrated services that share our vision of a future where everyone can express themselves and grow.
The fruits represent the concrete results we hope for: a strengthened community, people who have rediscovered hope, new employment opportunities, and a positive and lasting impact on the territory.
Looking to the Future
In our future, the history of the Haide Gabriele Association will continue, and the experience of pain will become the transformative force that guides us toward a better future:
Training Will Transform Experiences: Educational pathways will be the means through which we encourage personal and professional growth, preparing us for a future where challenges become launchpads for change.
Social Services Will Guarantee Care and Inclusion: The Ibolya Center will provide a model of assistance that puts the person at the center, ensuring support and dignity to those who need it.
Innovation and Sustainability Will Build a Territory Equal to a Green and Resilient Future: By integrating tradition and technology, our project will become a laboratory for sustainable development, capable of responding to environmental and economic challenges.
