Time to help

In Japan, it is believed that one who folds a thousand paper cranes will be granted a wish. These strings of paper cranes were outside of a temple in Kyoto. All of my wishes are for the people of Japan right now.

News about Japan continue to be devastating. The hardships that these people are facing are unimaginable. My heart is heavy for their losses. Please help and donate to any of these organizations. No amount is too small if we all collectively donate something.
