Gennadi Aygi Fund Set Up by PEN
Larry Siems, the PEN American Director of the Freedom to Write and International Programs, has just informed me that PEN — which is already helping Gennady with a gift from their emergency fund — would be happy to collect and pass through additional contributions from individuals. To avoid major accounting questions and get the aid to Aygi in good time, PEN has set a deadline for contributions and will accept donations through February 15.
All money sent to PEN for this purpose should be clearly earmarked for the “FTW emergency fund/Gennady support.” PEN will total up what will have been received and wire the equivalent amount to Gennady Aygi. (Donations made this way, i.e., to PEN American Center — FTW emergency fund/Gennady support — are tax deductible, you may be interested to know.)
Send donations to:
