Donna Maria Ivone, aged 52, recounts an extraordinary transformation in her life after receiving care from the 24th Expedition: January White of ONG Zoé, focused on Mental Health. 'There came a moment when I was at the bottom of the pit, had no will to live, lacked motivation for anything. I only got out of bed because my daughter forced me.' However, her experience with the expedition and the psychological support provided marked the beginning of significant improvement. 'I tell people about it and nobody believes me. Something inside me healed. A part of me that was wounded has completely recovered. Today I love living. I am very grateful for Zoé's care, and I hope the NGO can help more people, just as it helped me.' May you be blessed, Donna Maria Ivone. That is exactly what we also hope for.
