📅 What happened?
🏠 New chapter
On December 30, 2024, when six women crossed the threshold of St. Rita's Flower Haven, we knew something special was beginning. It was our first Home for Women.
in the homelessness crisis.
Spring full of plans
The beginning of the year brought intense discussions with the Municipal Office in Luboń. We dreamed of Social Cooperative LUBOŃSKIE DOBRO. Although that dream didn't come true, this year we'll return to the topic of Cooperatives and/or business activities – because professional activation is the foundation of true independence.
🍲 By helping others, we help ourselves
One of the most beautiful projects of the year was monthly volunteering in cooperation with „Soup of Freedom" initiative. Our charges stood at the stoves to cook for others.
Watching our charges proudly prepare soup, we see a true transformation. They are no longer people waiting for help – These are the people who give it themselves.
👍 Our actions
👥 A Community That Heals
Every week, a community meeting took place in each of our Houses. Together this 260 meetings in a year – 260 opportunities for conversation, conflict resolution, and celebrating small successes.
Every three months, the communities of all the Houses met together – 4 meetings, during which our charges could see that they were not alone, that they were part of something bigger.
We will add here that in all of our Houses, we have a total of 51 places: 40 for men and 11 for women.
☀️ Activity
Moments of joy
Summer brought an unforgettable experience. Thanks Get to Know People Initiative Our protégés took part in a kayak trip. For many of them, this was their first vacation like this in years.
Candle Workshop
In November, we opened Workshops, where the Beneficiaries of St. Rita's Flower Garden create beautiful soy candles. The first candles went on sale just before Christmas.
Riding for a Second Chance
Thousands of kilometers traveled by motorcycle to raise awareness about the problems of people struggling with addiction. Details here:

A Christmas full of warmth
We ended the year 2025 in a very special way. Thanks to the company All for One Poland Under the Christmas tree in our Homes, personalized gifts were found for over 40 wards. Gifts also went to our wards who live in non-residential facilities and those who have become independent. For many, this was the first real Christmas in years.
⚡ Challenges and difficulties
💪 Battling addiction
Alcoholism remains the biggest challenge. 31 people – more than 40% in total, who left our Homes – were unable to maintain sobriety.
It's painful, but we don't give up. We know that the road to recovery from addiction can be winding, and relapses are part of the healing process.
📋 Lack of institutional support
We participated in two grant competitions organized by the Ministry and the Marshal's Office. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we were unable to secure funding from either of these competitions.
Shield Despite everything – stability thanks to you
Thanks to your support, all financial obligations for 2025 have been met. No homes have been closed, and no one has been left without a roof over their head.
To Wy – nasi Darczyńcy – jesteście fundamentem, na którym opiera się nasza misja.
Through our monthly newsletter, we strive to build individual relationships with our Donors. This format serves as a source of information about what is happening in our Homes and how the money is being spent.
We hope you will stay with us. We hope our Community will continue to grow so that good will spread everywhere!
