    I am an Italian musician based in Carrol Garden, Brooklyn. I don’t have any specific training in medical assistance, but have been volunteering in several occasions after earthquakes in my home country. If you need my help I would be glad to join a group of volunteers. Please contact Marco Cappelli, 347 610 6478

    I don’t know how much of your help I would want if you can’t think well enough to follow the instructions posted and/or to think that posting your contact info on a blog will actually lead to anything. I’ll take my chances and go it alone.
