Beloved Italy Still Needs Our Help in Earthquake-Ravaged Lazio Region
|
Over two weeks ago, a series of earthquakes and aftershocks rocked the Italian region of Lazio in the middle on the night, killing 247 people thus far, injuring hundreds, leaving thousands homeless, and costing the region into the hundreds of millions in damaged and lost productivity.
As we have done many times before with your support, the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) has set up an Earthquake Relief Fund to help the region recover from this disaster. All donations to this fund are tax-deductible.
The SIF will be working directly with the Embassy of Italy to direct funds to emergency relief, recovery and/or rebuilding as requested by the Italian Government.
Please help our brothers and sisters in Italy at this critical time. On behalf of those that need our help, we THANK YOU for your support!
Sincerely,
