As you all know, Japan is facing a devastating time. Over 15,000 missing or dead after the 8.9 earthquake rocked Sendai sending aftershock after aftershock through the rest of the country. A tsunami magnified the devastation by flooding the countryside taking lives and destroying the homes of thousands.

To add to the monstrous disaster a nuclear power plant in Fukushima exploded, poisoning the air with radiation, risking the lives and health of many and displacing still thousands more from their homes.

This is a time of need for Japan. In the years past when disaster has struck in the world, the good hearted from all over the globe banded together to form awareness groups and relief teams and funds.

Already so many are showing their support for Japan and its grieving people.
