A SUCCESS!!!!!
Last Friday, 1200+ bloggers, including yours truly, participated in a Bloggers Day of Silence to raise awareness & donations for ShelterBox via For Japan With Love. The results? $53,000 raised for ShelterBox which provides 530 people with shelter, supplies & perhaps a dash of hope!! I'm simply amazed at your generosity & kindness towards the people of Japan who need it so much. Thank you, thank to everyone who donated, participated &/or said a prayer!!!A BIG thank you to Lydia of Ever Ours & Henny & Lucia of Utterly Engaged for organizing & rallying For Japan With Love!On Friday, I was completely silent on this blog, Facebook & Twitter. It was quite refreshing! I took the extra time in my day Friday to take Bailey for a long walk along the Hoboken waterfront while counting my blessings & saying a prayer for Japan. I need to make time to do this everyday.The road to recovery will be long & hard for Japan. Keep the Japanese in your heart, thoughts & prayers!
Koru Wedding Shoppe is participating in the Bloggers Day of Silence for Japan on Friday, March 18th. This blog will be silent- no posts in honor & respect for what has happened in Japan. It's a small but powerful gesture.Another small but powerful gesture can be made by visiting & donating to For Japan With Love. All donations support ShelterBox, an organization with their volunteers already helping in Japan. ShelterBox provides emergency shelter & lifesaving supplies for families who are affected by disasters at the time when they need it the most. Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a disaster, typically containing a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage & purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, children’s activity pack & other vital items. Please be know that your donations are being put to good use!
Whatever you can contribute is appreciated. Every little bit helps!
Sending our love & prayers to Japan!!!
