/PRNewswire-USNewswire/ – Donations are needed to support general relief, a group of children’s clinics and an organization dedicated to rebuilding homes in Chile, the non-profit Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) announced today. www.PanAmericanRelief.org
“Despite the generous contributions, a week after the deadly quake our neighbors in Chile still urgently need your help,” says John Sanbrailo, PADF’s executive director. “We’re working to ensure that Chileans back on their feet. Please call (877) 572-4484 to make your donation.”
