    Weʼve raised £1,533 to support the snow emergency in Abruzzo, Italy by sending supplies to farmers

    Story

    The Abruzzo region in Italy was hit by 2-4m of snow in January 2017. This was then followed by an earthquake and Avalanche which destroyed a hotel and killed 29 people including 1 farmer after a barn collapsed on him. This left the livestock in the region stranded with no food. The only way supplies were able to reach the stranded people is by helicopter but farmers are getting desperate as supplies are running out fast. Coming from farming background, we decided to play our part and send some supplies to them. Andrew donated his time and lorry likewise Phil who has donated his time and vehicle to take fodder down to the stranded animals. At present, Euro Tunnel have donated a complimentary ticket for the journey there but we are looking for support for the tolls through France, Italy and the Mont Blanc tunnel. Any donations for fuel would be immensely grateful. If we raise more than our target then any extra will go to the residents of Abruzzo who's live have been changed by this devastation
