For Japan With Love

We will be participating in the Blogger’s Day of Silence, part of the For Japan with Love Disaster Relief, to show our support for all who are now suffering in Japan. That means that tomorrow, on March 18th, there will be no new posts.

We hope you will take a moment to visit the For Japan with Love website, and join us in making a donation if you can, no matter how small. All proceeds will go to ShelterBox, which provides emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for families around the world who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most. Each large green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster, but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items. Your donation can help change the outcome for a Japanese family in need.

A very special thank you to Ever Ours and Utterly Engaged for organizing this amazing display of love and compassion.

We would love to hear what you whink

  7. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this global effort to help Japan! And for everyone out there who is a baker or likes to eat sweets, please look up your nearest Bakesale for Japan– a nationwide bakesale being held in cities throughout the country on April 2nd to benefit the disaster relief efforts! We’re organizing the one in LA, but there are ones planned all across the country. Please come out and support our efforts by indulging your sweet tooth!

  8. i wasn’t able to help financially but i did lend support in multiple retweets to expand the awareness to the cause. glad to see it was such a success.

  12. I participated in the bloggers day of silence and also donated to shelterbox. What an amazing thing the ladies of ever ours and utterly engaged did…they are true examples of a humble spirit and giving hearts. They are awesome! Continued prayers to Japan!!

  13. Dontated to Shelterbox and also sponsored a lovely lady who did a 12 hour pianothon (played for 12 hours!) to raise money. So far she has raised £1175. Also also participated in the blog silence. Will continue to help in any way I can.

  15. We happily participated and donated… thankful to be able to help- what a great idea!

  17. my heart hurts for Japan. shelterbox is an amazing organization and i was happy to be apart in any small way.

  18. I happily participated on my little blog. I don’t have too many readers yet, but I facebooked and twittered like a mad woman to get the word out. It was really wonderful to see so many bloggers working together, and together we raised $54,000 in four days! That’s amazing :)

  20. What an amazing show of love and support by all who donated and participated! I was so glad to do my small part in the effort. Xoxo

  21. I first know about this diaster relief after saw your link on Facebook last Thursday, so thank you!

    I donated and joined the day of silence straight away, now i am also running a “spread you love to japan” contest on Facebook that I am asking my FB liker and blogs follower to write a min 30 words message to people in Japan, and they may win one of my two lifestyle portrait session, which worth $150 each.

    By doing this I hope I can influence more people to make donation! We all could do something right??

  25. we donated & participated in Blogger silence. The results from everyone is so overwhelming. We are a part of such a generously rad industry. Love you girls :)

  26. Not being able to help the effected people as much as I wished I could have, it was great to see an opportunity to acknowledge and take a small action to help. Participating and spreading the word about For Japan With Love was one thing I could do!

  30. I made a donation and participated in the day of silence, I also plan on donating much more! This was a great way to raise awareness, I’m so proud of everyone for their support.

  38. I made a donation. My kids also picked out 2 trash bags of their stuffed animals to donate to the kids over there. Thanks for doing this! I am also not blogging today.

  40. I donated and actually find the silence refreshing. What a great way to meditate and reflect on all that has happened and what is yet to be done. xoxo
