It was a quiet morning when the earthquake shook the earth. The family, consisting of Alessandro, Marta and little Sofia, 1 year and 3 months old, could not have imagined that this would be the end of their life as they knew it. The building where they lived, an old building in the city centre, shook violently. The walls began to collapse, the windows exploded into a thousand splinters and the floor crumbled under their feet. Marta, terrified, grabbed Sofia and tried to run for the exit, but there was no time. A deafening noise invaded the air, and everything went dark.When they woke up in the rubble, the house was gone. Gone were their belongings, the memories of a life of laughter and dreams, nor the warmth of their safe walls. The neighbourhood was destroyed. There was nothing left, just dust and rubble everywhere.Alessandro and Marta, heartbroken, looked at their trembling child, wrapped in her little coat. They did not know what to do, where to go. Help had arrived too late for them, and the nearest shelter was too far away. The fear of not being able to find a safe place for Sofia plagued them. With the last of their strength, they made their way to the park, where others like them had taken refuge, homeless and hopeless. The nights were freezing, and Marta wrapped her little girl in her arms, trying to protect her from hunger, cold and loneliness.Every day, Alessandro and Marta walked the streets, asking for help from those who could offer a hand, but there were few answers. The city seemed to have forgotten the most vulnerable, those who had lost everything in an instant. Weeks passed and their situation did not improve. Marta's little girl, who at only 1 year and 3 months old did not understand what was happening, continued to cry from pain and hunger. Every smile they managed to squeeze out of Sofia seemed like a miracle. But despite everything, there was still a small glimmer of hope in Marta and Alessandro's hearts. The love they had for each other, and for their little Sofia, held them together. The idea of starting over, of finding a new home, even if they did not know how, gave them the strength to keep fighting. For Sofia, for her future And so, every day, they pick themselves up, hoping that another tomorrow may bring with it a new chance.
