Post a CommentVery nice article. I live in Japan and one of my closest friend works for Japanese Red Cross. We sincerely thank you for your help and support.
Great list of resources.
very good. Japan needs a lot of healing and help...
Important info! Thanks for sharing.
excellent; thanks for sharing ♠
Great resource, Michele. Thanks!
Great article - you can also check out the CharityNavigator.org to help you find a reputable charity ;) cheers!
Good list. Japan is also dealing with a volcano eruption (which some speculate may have caused the earthquake that then caused the tsunami.) I just completed an article on this.
It's good to know how to help. The images have been absolutely horrifying; it's hard to even take it in.
Thanks for your read, Laura!
