Helping Hands for Abruzzo

As the rescue crews continue to work hard in Abruzzo and we hear hour by hour more tragic news, I am comforted by seeing the quick and massive response around the internet spreading the word about relief funds and information on how to make donations. There are many ways you can help the people of Abruzzo during this terrible time. The National Italian American Foundation has established a special Abruzzo Relief Fund, which makes it easy for you to make a donation to help the victims and their families. Valerie at 2 Baci in a Pinon Tree has a good summary of the different ways you can help out on her blog here. LuLu over at Calabrisella Mia has information about how to make donations, especially if you are located in Canada. Sara at Ms. Adventures in Italy has an extensive list of websites that will help you find more information on making donations.

My thoughts are with the families in Abruzzo and throughout Italy and the world who have been impacted by this terrible earthquake. Please join the effort and give a hand in any way you can!

    Ciao Chuck! Yes, a shocking tragedy indeed. I wish I could help out in more ways, but I know how important it is to help in some way.

    I am having a very time here in Nebraska. Thanks! The weather went from sunny and beautiful yesterday to grey and cold today. Still not spring yet I guess!

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
