Save Ivana and Antonio's Family Home in Ponza

Hey all, Katherine here. I’m writing on behalf of two of my dearest friends who are in danger of losing their family home. They are short of funds and urgently need to raise €20,000 to pay the final installment of a buyout due by *February 13th.

*Update: Great news! They’ve been granted an extension and now have until March 31st to raise the final amount needed to secure their home. Every bit of support still counts—let’s help them reach their goal!

This home, located in La Forna on the Island of Ponza (Italy), is a very modest house with a breathtaking view of Palmarola. It’s where Ivana and Antonio have raised their three lovely children and created terraced gardens of herbs, flowers, and cacti.

I’ve been visiting this home and Ponza for over 20 years, and it holds a special place in my heart. Please help with any donation you might be able to muster—these are lovely, hardworking people in dire need.

Your support will help keep this home and allow Ivana and Antonio to continue their work hosting day trips on “Alma Ole,” their vintage peschereccio (fishing boat), this new year.

Thank you for any help you can provide!
