I just can not get the images of the devastation in Japan out of my head. Sitting here in my home with water, electricity and many other comforts makes me feel so helpless. From here, I know there is really only one thing that I can do and that is pray for the leaders and people of Japan. Their need for comfort, daily needs, and wisdom in the face of all the destruction has to be overwhelming. My heart goes out to the organizations that are on the ground in what I am sure is a desperate need to help and not stop until there is nothing else to be done. I always have a yearning to go to these devastated places in the world and help, but I have no way to do this, let alone funds to make a difference. I do know I can help with my donation to organizations that are there on the ground and they do need the funds, even if it is just my little bit. Here are few ways you too can make a denotation.
Salvation Army has made it possible to donate by texting the words "Japan" or "Quake" to 80888 to make a $10 donation, or make a donation via their website here.
The destruction from that major phenomenon will take years of recovery. The earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear plant problems have struck the heart of Japan in just one day, and helping them is a must. I mean, we are all safe here and we should do something like this to help them. A $10 donation will be big for them. :)
