Japan relief links and information
14 years ago
I copied this journal from my friend 
Caustickeet because I think its important for everyone to see this information on where you should donate. I thought it was worth reposting because in the past there have been "relief organizations" just pop up out of nowhere after disasters and actually pocket most of the donation money they take in....Beware!

We're now hearing reports of coastal cities losing 15% or more of their population. Imagine 1 in 7 people in your town dying violently in a 24 hour period.
Direct Relief, which has a very good rating for spending most of their money on relief (as opposed to administration and promotion) have a setup where you can choose to give to Japan. Remember, this is the country that gave us Samurai, Ninjas, dirty cartoons, and Godzilla.

Fixed it. May want to edit your journal. I didn't notice but when I copy pasted my journal from textpad, like, it ate my links or something.
