If you feel so inclined to donate so that food and supplies may be sent to those in the Tohoku Region, please visit the Second Harvest Website and make your donation.
Over the weekend, two trucks packed with goods were sent and we'd love to continue sending more!
Saturday's Truck
Sunday's Truck
If you live in the Tokyo area and would like to do more, OXFAM Japan will have the Tokyo Yamathon in which teams walk/jog/ramble the length of the Yamanote Line.
100% of the proceeds will go towards assisting those in the Tohoku Region.
As I am not an organizer (go Joey!), please visit the Tokyo Yamathon website for further details.

Hey!
I hope everything is going well with you.
I just watched the dinner scene from While You Were Sleeping, and thought of you.
Love,
Whitney
