Helping Japan


Japan holds a very special place in my heart and I feel my life is changed after the earthquake that hit last week. I can't stop feeling for them, and praying for them. I received an email from the school I attended while I lived there and they gave some sites that people could donate to, I added the church to the list as well, since it always helps as well:
