Japan Needs To Be Remembered As We Go Along With Our Normal Lives

It is so heart breaking to see the results of the earthquake and tsunami from last month.  But isn’t it sad that after the first three days of a disaster, we move on to more “urgent” things and forget those who are still suffering.

Kudos to the organizations – public, private, religious – that go to these disaster areas and assist people in trying to regain their lives again.

If you have not pledged any money toward the cause of assisting in Japan, here are some of my favorite charities you might consider. 

Samaritan’s Purse: This is the company that I will be sending my money toward. I like their biblical message and appreciate their low overhead costs. Donate HERE.

The American Red Cross: You can make a donation on line.  Or, you can simply text REDCROSS to 90999 and instantly donate $10 to the Japanese relief efforts.

Heart to Heart International: Only 2% of all donations are kept to cover overhead.  That means 98% of what you send to them will actually make it to the quake ravaged areas.
