What a great service you are doing Kathy by offering these various options for people to help with this crisis. It breaks my heart everyday to see this on the news and I just wish that I could wrap the world in my arms and make it all go away.
Leesa - mine too ..... we just have to do what we can ..... if everyone did a little it would help a lot
It seems like we are so innundated with tragedies the last couple years that I don't see ass much action for the Japanese as we as Americans can come up with.
I am going to reblog this and try to get more interest in helping these brave people.
Jim - Thanks the message is important ..... I heard on the news last night the Canadian Red Cross had raised 8 million dollars which will help but in the big picture is likely a drop in the bucket compared to what will be needed.
