Amanda Knox sent a letter to the Italy-USA Foundation to thank Italians that helped her.
To hold my hand and offer the support and respect through the barriers and controversies there were Italians. There was the Italy-USA Foundation, and many who have shared my pain and helped me to survive on hope. I am eternally grateful for their caring hospitality and their courageous efforts. Those who wrote to me, who defended me, who stayed close to me, who prayed for me. I am forever grateful. I love you. Amanda
