The head of the charity service spoke about how their employees also create a home in their hearts for those "whom God has entrusted to them".

"We are all responsible for the further journey of the people living here," declared Imre Kozma.

Bence Tuzson, the district's Fidesz member of parliament, put it this way, "you need a soul to make the walls a home of love".

Home means love, community, togetherness, and this should be given to those who are in a much more difficult situation than us, he added.

Péter H. Giflo, the professional manager of the Kilincs project of the love service, told MTI about the current expansion that the two buildings, specially designed and equipped, will provide a modern home for a total of 48 people with a high need for support, i.e. who are unable to live independently for the time being. , who currently reside in the large Göd institution.

The investment, the cost of which is about HUF two billion, will be realized entirely with state support, he said.
