I first heard about this last week and thought that it was too late to get involved because I had missed the day of silence day for my blog, however, it looks is though it isn't too late, it's never too late and what started out as a call to attention to donate money for the love of Japan and to raise $5,000 has turned into a HUGE outpouring of love and support and they have by far reached the goal and some...alot of some infact, the total donated so far has reached $57,830!! How awesome is this?!
The money raised is going towards Shelter Box they provide emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it most.
A whole box costs $1,000 and $5,000 was hoped to be raised but you see how the amount of boxes that are going to be able to be shipped over there has multiplied big time!
Go check out FOR JAPAN WITH LOVE see what is going on and maybe skip your morning coffee purchase, perhaps instead of going out to eat be a part of someone else being blessed with the necessities of life during such hard times right now. Be a blessing! I can't help but see the images on the tv, or on the computer screen and not think, that could be me, that could be us. None of us knows for sure what tomorrow brings, but we can be a part of knowing that we were a part of something BIG
something that will touch lives.
