We ask for your support
The Donum Spes Foundation was established in Poland on May 24, 2009. The name of the Foundation is derived from Latin and means “hope” as a “gift” or “gift of hope”.
The Foundation’s goal is to help the spiritually wounded and rejected, those who need support the most. The idea of the Foundation was born in prayer in Medjugorje and gathers both clergy and lay people. Daily service among the lost, caught up in all kinds of addictions, flows from the heart of people of good will. With Mary, we wish to bring hope to despairing and sad people in their hearts where darkness and emptiness reign.
At the beginning, the seat of the Foundation was Alwernia, a small town located in the vicinity of Krakow. In August 2011. the Foundation’s office was moved to Uście Solne. The Foundation’s ministry is linked to Medjugorje in Bosnia Herzegovina. The activities of the Foundation are strictly based on the objectives set out in the Statute. The overriding desire of the Founders was to open and run the House for people who are rejected and spiritually wounded. After many fasts and prayers offered to God through the intercession of the Queen of Peace, the main goal was achieved on May 13, 2011. in Uście Solny near Brzesko / voiv. małopolskie / we received a “home” for our pupils.
Since the foundation of the Foundation, we have been reaching difficult and lost youth in all possible ways. We surround such young people and their families with special prayer and support, showing the true purpose and meaning of life. The healing process of each heart depends on the depth of previously inflicted wounds. The real doctor is Jesus himself – the good Shepherd who leaves 99 healthy sheep to find one “lost” sheep. Finding her, he takes her on his shoulders and binds up the wounds of the heart. The bondage and addictions of young people do not begin until high school in the wrong company. Most often, a family home that lacks true love is the place of wounding. Improper parental relationships and aggression at home become the main causes of child mutilation. The next wounds overlap with the first ones received at home from our relatives.
We provide all help for the spiritually wounded and rejected through conversation and prayer, often using the ministry of exorcist priests. We individually recognize the needs of people that God places on our way. We also cooperate with other communities and therapeutic centers.
Shortly after the foundation was opened, we found out about the enormous needs of this ministry. The first visible good fruit was the opening of the “Donum Spes” Association in Canada after 6 months, cooperating with us, supporting local lost youth.
The guiding principle of the Foundation are the words of St. John Paul II “Believe Hope Against Hope”.
