Francis is not alone. The disabled boy who has been struggling for years to be adequately assisted at school has been surrounded by a sea of solidarity in just a few days . The outburst of mother Sara Picci, who recounted the last episode a few days ago when there was no one to accompany her son to the bathroom, because the janitor authorized for the service was absent due to illness , moved and angered everyone. And if from the Alberghiero Gramsci di Monserrato , Francesco's school, they still don't release any comments, his companions will try to stir things up.
The commitment
As the school representative Nicolò Deiana had announced, all united, after having collected about 150 signatures at school, they published the petition online to help Francesco, reaching almost 1500 signatures in a few days . But that's just the beginning. Student requests are also attached to the petition.
«On November 26, Francis was deprived of the possibility of going to school», the students write, «whose fault is it? From the Ministry or from our institute? We have tried to understand it and we want to explain it to you too. For those unfamiliar with Francesco's story, he is a boy who has motor difficulties that do not allow him to be independent and due to his problems he has the right to assistance in his essential places of need". Unfortunately however, «on Friday the 25th the school did not replace the only school collaborator who usually takes care of him and who was rightly absent for health reasons. As a result, not only did he have to wait for his mother to arrive before being taken to the toilet, but he was forced to leave the institution in tears because no one could look after him." Their partner must have the same rights as all the other students : «Because of this shameful situation, he was forced to stay at home in the following days. Francesco's attendance cannot depend on a single person, he is a student like us and should not be treated differently. Let's unite to protect Francis if the institutions don't do it".
