Dearest Family & Friends,

By now, we have all heard about the devastation that Japan is faced with. They are in great need of resources, aide, and help. I have signed up for the American Red Cross relief fund and have a personal goal of raising $2000. The money will directly fund the Tsunami & Earthquake victims in Japan. Please go to : http://sxsw4japan.org/verymerryevents to make a donation, any amount - big or small will make a difference.

After seeing the devastating aftermath through news coverage & footage of first hand accounts, I felt compelled to take action. The current death toll is estimated to be in the upwards of 10,000 with many still missing or unaccounted for. The situation in Japan is so dire that the local funeral home stresses [they] "just can't keep up." With the burdening of nuclear explosions, lack of food & water, overfilled shelters and local transportation inaccessible & compromised, this becomes a world crisis. We can do something to help. I hope that you will help in the campaign or even start one of your own.

Any donation, big or small will make a difference, please support and log onto : http://sxsw4japan.org/verymerryevents. All donations are tax deductible for 2011.

Thank you for your continued donations and support to this cause! Let us continue to pray for the victims and those suffering in Japan.

Kindly,
Mary

At SXSW this year, there's a lot of discussion and debate about influence. Now it's time to stand up and be truly influential as we raise support for tsunami relief.

Japan faces one of its most devastating natural disasters in 100 years. On March 11th, walls of water swept across rice fields, engulfing towns, dragging houses onto highways, tossing cars and boats like toys and consuming lives. The potential human loss is unimaginable, with thousands missing and early reports of hundreds reported dead. Aftershocks and additional earthquakes continue to threaten the region, sending shock waves across the nation and the world.


The CauseVox team will cover the cost of the transaction fees so 100% of your donation goes to the American Red Cross.
