Also there is now a page on their website specifically for Japan, so I decided to trust them, and I think we shouldn't try and find fault with them. I'm sure the money will be put to good use. If they receive loads of donations, they will dispatch more money and resources to Japan, let's be sure of that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-86357769736845322562011-03-13T14:28:43.828-07:002011-03-13T14:28:43.828-07:00It has been a very sad time and I have been keepin...It has been a very sad time and I have been keeping Japan in my thoughts and prayers.Ocean Breezes and Country Sneezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553409790617039932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-51843668377218131342011-03-13T06:31:27.896-07:002011-03-13T06:31:27.896-07:00Im glad your family is OK.

I share your feelings, its beyond sad. Today I was at the gym, on a treadmill, and I broke down and cried because the TV only showed footage of the Tsunami.

Right now money sent to the red cross does not go directly to Japan. American red cross can't officially help Japan until they asked. Per the Japanese red cross website, they will announce when they begin accepting donations and how you can donate directly to the relief effort.<br /><br />Redcross Text Donations:<br /><br />Does the full $10 go to the Red Cross?<br /><br />Your text donation will support will support our disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.<br />--> This means that right now donations ARE NOT GOING TO DIRECTLY TO JAPAN FOR RELIEF.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-37249384950282338292011-03-12T09:57:59.796-08:002011-03-12T09:57:59.796-08:00I'm glad your family is ok.

I am glad to hear your family is ok. My father used to build houses in Japan. Nova Scotia (where we're from) would send lumber and craftsmen over to build earthquake proof housing. Dad loved Tokeyo and the fishing village just 45 min south of there where he built the 2nd time he went over... the name escapes me now. Japan had a profound effect on my Dad.. mostly the kindness of its people. They were very welcoming to him. I will pray for the people of Japan today.Sarah @ Mum In Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422631998971737584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503994994675408248.post-22676343887225323612011-03-12T06:51:36.466-08:002011-03-12T06:51:36.466-08:00Devastating situation.
