[#PrayForItaly] Asking your support (EN)

Day 3,200, 05:34 Published in USA Bosnia and Herzegovina by Fanaxidiel


Most of you already know that a devastating earthquake hit a few regions of Italy some hours ago. The authorities already claimed that 268 deaths are certain but still there are several people under the ruins.

If you have friends or relatives in Italy, in the main touristic places, don't be worried for them: the big cities haven't been hit. Anyway if you think that any of them could be involved, there's a number activated from civil protection which can be called 24/7 to ask about survivors: 800840840 (at the moment it seems available only from Italy, so if you call from out of Italy I suggest to try to contact your own embassy).
Don't forget that Facebook activated the "safety check" so you can also check their facebook profiles to see if they posted any news or confirmed that they are fine with this service.
If you are planning holidays in Italy, you'll have no problems or issues and you can come without any problem. Check your gov's foreign affairs and they will confirm you that.

Anyway the situation of several little towns in the mountains of central Italy is really desperate, with many volunteers trying to rescue the most survivors possible.



I want to humbly ask your prayers and your help, because the biggest risk in such situations is that people are left alone. We can't allow for anyone to live such tragedies and not feel our warm help.



1) Pray. This works, when you really care.
2) Share. Make the world aware of it. Use your social networks to make people aware and ask their help and prayers too.
3) Help. If you can save a little money for the population in need, I can give you two safe directions:
a) Use the ITALIAN RED CROSS indications:

b) Use the FONDAZIONE SPECCHIO DEI TEMPI (LaStampa) indications:

In both cases, select the reason "Terremoto in centro Italia" (earthquake in central Italy).

Plato forbids me to give you golds in exchange of donations to such charities, BUT doesn't forbid me to be VERY THANKFUL in case you do that, so, if you want, once you donate something to these charities, send me a screenshot and I will show you my thankfulness, as much as I can.

If you can, vote this article and reshout it. Whatever suggestion you have to make this initiative more efficient, send me a PM.
