Dear Friends and Family,
We've signed up for the SXSW Red Cross Japan crisis relief campaign. I am asking for your support to donate whatever money you can, as little as $5, which will go directly to the earthquake and tsunami victims via the American Red Cross, a non-profit organization committed to international disaster relief.
As of 3/15/2011, the death toll is estimated at 10,000 people, with most of this figure coming from people still missing. Whole towns were swept away or completely buried under debris. As we speak, frequent, powerful aftershocks above 6.0 continue to rock Japan. You can only imagine the number of injured or displaced survivors who are in desperate need of aid. As of today, almost 600,000 people are staying in shelters due to loss of homes, evacuation from nuclear radiation threat, or inability to make it home with strained transportation routes. The weather conditions are freezing, and there is a short supply of food, water, and electricity.
I had the pleasure of living in Tokyo from 2006 to 2010, where I met my wife, a Japanese citizen. Our daughter Amalia Fumi was born in Japan. We are fortunate enough to have our family safe at home, away from the disaster, but would like to help those less fortunate and in desperate need.
Thank you very much for your consideration and a huge thank you for your support!
