This morning Japan awoke to one of the biggest disasters of it’s history – an 8.8 earthquake and that tsunami waves through the Pacific. Aftershocks still hit Japan and there are as many as 1000 dead and a reported 88,000 missing. Hours later officials declared an official nuclear emergency when its nuclear plant’s cooling system failed which can result in a possible radiation leak.
In times like these people are wondering how they can help.
Here’s some organizations accepting donations for Japan’s Earthquake Relief:
American Red Cross - Donate $10 to support Red Cross Earthquake Relief by texting REDCROSS to 90999 or visiting their website.
