Never Too Much Help

We are all aware of the heartbreaking situation that Japan and it's people are going through right now. In addition to the severe damages left behind by the earthquake and the tsunami, thousands of lives were taken, many more are still missing, injured and / or homeless.

Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters. Now it is time for us to "Help Japan", whether it is by donating online, via SMS, or sending supplies or economic support to your local Red Cross. If you don't have money, be creative! Design a logo (or get a friends to do it) print it on t-shirts, totes or stickers, sell them, then donate what ever you can get out of that! Remember every little bit counts.

Here are some other ways people are trying to help... More ideas? Go on twitter #helpjapan

"For Them" - A cologne by Libertine Louison made for the town of Minami Sanriku which disappeared after the tsunami. You can buy it online for 35.00 euros - All profits will be donated.
