How you can help Japan

I'm sure you've heard of the massive earthquake and tsunami's which devastated parts of Japan.

Author Maureen Johnson is spearheading a drive on Twitter to purchase shelterboxes for those displaced by the disaster in Japan. Shelterbox is an organization that goes into areas of the world affected by disaster with large green boxes that contain shelters and the materials needed for people to restart their lives on some level. The boxes always include a top-quality tent, and they usually include stoves, blankets, water purification systems, and tools. This is true, life-saving stuff, hand-delivered by volunteers trained in survival techniques.

To donate to Shelterbox go here. Maureen asks the following: "In the line where it asks you if you are donating in the name of some organization or person, you can put my name. This is merely an internal sorting mechanism so they know that’s our money and it goes in our money pile–it’s not an offering to ME."

To follow Maureen's efforts and prizes that are donated go here: @MaureenJohnson 
You can also donate through the American Red Cross.

Sending prayers to those affected in Japan.
