This disaster has moved me, and made me realize that even though the Japaneese people are so far away, geographically speaking, we are all a part of this planet, and we all should reach out and want to help. "What can I do to help?", you may be asking. "I am on the other side of the world."

I am here to tell you that you can help, and it doesn't have to hurt your wallet or bank account to do so. If everyone who reads this just donated the amount of money as one fast food meal, or one movie ticket, something that we know we can sacrifice just once to help out our fellow man, the goal of $200 that I have set can be easily achieved.

What are you waiting for? It's easy and safe to donate. $5, $10, $20, or whatever amount you desire will greatly help the efforts of the Red Cross in getting aid to the people in Japan who really need it in their greatest time of need.  Please donate!

On March 11, 2011 magnitude-8.9 earthquake hit off the shore of Japan, unleashing a 23-foot (seven-meter) tsunami and leaving enormous destruction in its wake.

Hundreds have been killed in this disaster and thousands have been left homeless, as the tsunami swept through, causing mass destruction and setting off widespread fires that burned out of control.

I have created this fundraising page to aid with the enormous relief efforts will be required to help Japan recover and rebuild.

Thank you for your contribution to this cause!
