How You Can Help the Victims of the Italian Earthquake.

These past few days for the people of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Italy have been devastating. Many have endured tragedy along with losing their homes. Tents were set up by the local government and make shift hospitals were resurrected in the streets in order for the injured to receive care. We hope and pray that rescue workers will continue finding those trapped, as they've done an incredible job already.

If you want to help, the National Italian American Foundation has set up a relief fund for your convenience.
