By now, we know you have all seen the heartbreaking devastation that has resulted from the massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It can be hard to know what to do or how to help, so Lydia of Ever Ours and Lucia and Henny of Utterly Engaged have teamed up to put together a fundraiser called For Japan With Love. All donations will go to ShelterBox, an organization whose volunteers were some of the first on hand in Japan. They provide emergency shelter and lifesaving supplies for disaster relief. Each ShelterBox is tailored to the disaster but typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items. Whatever you can contribute, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated! To make a donation, head to the For Japan With Love fundraising page.

Out of respect for the tragedy in Japan, we are also participating in the Blogger’s Day of Silence on Friday, March 18th. If you are a fellow blogger and are interested in joining us, click here for more information.
