Budimex announces the launch of the next edition of the “House from the Heart” campaign, which aims to support families in Poland struggling with material and housing difficulties. As part of the third edition, a completely new house will be built. It will be inhabited by Mrs. Teresa, from Wołomin near Warsaw, who lost her roof over her head as a result of a fire.
From the need of the heart – Home from the heart
The first edition of the “Home from the Heart” project was a tribute to the power of love and social support. Thanks to her, Magda and her fifteen children from the Radomsko district received a new home in 2021, which was a hope and a safe place for them. Their story moved Budimex and gave birth to this unique initiative. As part of the second edition, Budimex joined forces with other construction companies to help a family of eight in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship with financial difficulties and children’s health problems. Together, they completed the construction of a house to create conditions for them to live “turnkey”.
A new house for Mrs. Teresa and Lusia will be built in Wołomin
Now the third edition of the “House from the Heart” program begins. Mrs. Teresa, who lived in her home in Wołomin for over 50 years, needs help. Unfortunately, as a result of the fire, she lost her home and precious memories. This tragedy is only one of many that happened to Mrs. Teresa, including the loss of her husband and son due to cancer. Despite so many difficulties, Mrs. Teresa remains extremely resourceful
and an active person. Now, thanks to the power of cooperation with other construction companies, Budimex is ready to help her make her dream of returning to her new and safe home come true. The work is already underway. Currently, the area has been leveled and prepared so that in the place of the destroyed house of Mrs. Teresa, a modern modular house will be erected, in which Mrs. Teresa and her canine friend Lusia will be able to live.
“Budimex has been operating on the basis of social responsibility for years, implementing a number of activities for the benefit of local communities. Always after each construction that we carry out, we leave behind something durable and good for the communities that live in its vicinity. The story of Mrs. Teresa moved us very much, so we decided to help her dreams of a new and safe home come true – says Artur Popko, President of the Management Board at Budimex SA.
The region in which Teresa lives is adjacent to the construction projects carried out by Budimex: the Marki Education and Recreation Centre and the Drewnica Psychiatric Hospital. “We are always socially involved in the areas of our construction sites – adds Artur Popko.
Teresa will move into her new home in the spring of 2024.
