Like many people I know, I am shocked by the disaster unfolding in Japan. Japan is an amazing country and while the Japanese people are some of the most resilient on earth, the scope of this disaster is such that they need help from the international community.

The International Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and other aid services will use your donations to help in the relief and rescue efforts. Your donations will help tens of thousands of people who have lost everything. Whatever you can afford to give, please do.
