If you feel like donating something, here's the place: JARNO TRULLI - Abruzzo nel Cuore - Abruzzo in the heart

Just a question since I don't know the answer, how much has Italy donated to the US after the flooding here?? or the Mt St helens incedent?? 9/11?? Seems like we are giving quite a bit to other countries that have disasters but not much comes our way. Just a personal opinion.

My personal opinion is when people need help the right thing to do is help them. YMMV.

I agree, Jwight. Doing the right thing is the human way - even without keeping score.

Thanks for posting.

I agree that the right thing to do is to help out when possible, I just think that with unemployment up, economy down, we should be taking care of things at home first.

Then you probably won't be donating; entirely your call - as it is for others.

I will be donating to the hundreds of bill collectors that call me daily. But I will offer a prayer for their safe recovery.
