I’ve been so saddened and torn about the recent earthquake in Italy, and I wanted to post something here. When I read this post by Cristina on Un po’ di pepe~ I think she expressed everything I have been feeling. She also included helpful resources to check out for anyone interested in finding ways to help.
Enjoy. Please be sure to check out Cristina’s blog, as she also has a passion for Italy.

Unbelievable damage in such a short time!

Margie, this is so devastating. Thank you for providing links for helping. I was in Naples during the earthquakes in 1983-84 and experienced some smaller quakes while we were there. But of course none of them were anything like this, truly appalling.

Prayers are a given. God does not ignore the devil’s machinations.

I will be back in Italy in a few weeks. I think I will be eating lots of pasta Amatriciana. I know our local Red Cross and local supermarkets will be handling donations.
