Ways to Contribute to Japan's Tsunami Earthquake Relief Fund

Ways to donate to the Japan Tsunamii Earthquake Relief Fund. On March 11, 2011 an 8.9 magnitude earthquake rocked Japan. A huge Tsunami soon followed, sweeping away everything in its path. In addition, there was damage to a nuclear reactor and the damage as a result of that are still unknown. This is one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit Japan. There are over 1 million people without water and over 2 million without shelter. Over 400,00 have been evacuated to emergency shelters. Japan needs the rest of the world's support now more than ever. Here are secure ways that you can help to contribute to the relief fund for Japan.

The initial report of Japan's March 11, 2011 earthquake was 8.9 but the Japanese officials have since raised it to a 9.0. Reports are that the death toll is top 10,000. There are 9,000 people missing in one community alone. Millions of people are without food, water, electricity, transportation and shelter.

If you are interested in donating to the Japan Earthquake Tsunami Relief Fund, please be sure that you are donating to a reputable organization. Beware of the season scammers out there that use these types of disasters to take advantage of people. If is not a good idea to search the internet and donate to an organization that you never heard of or one that can't be verified. I have put this page together to help you in your search of finding the right organization to donate to. You can also leave messages on this page for the people of Japan, who are thoughts and prayers go out to.

This is such a horrible situation, earthquake, tsunami and a partial nuclear meltdown are three massive disasters by themselves but together it's just devastating. Everyone should donate what they can to help these people out!

I'm actually having to stop watching the news because it's so difficult to bear, but I've donated and created a Squidoo charity lens for International Rescue Committee.

It's such a helpless feeling watching them suffer, but we can all help a bit!

Thank you! My "kids" (son and DIL) live in Tokyo and the support from Squidoo members for the people in Japan is truly heartwarming. I urge anyone reading this to please contribute and to continue to remember that others, such as the Haitian people, to name only one of many dire situations, are also still in need of assistance.

Unfortunately I have experienced a big earthquake when I was a teenager and I still vividly remember bodies being pulled out of the fallen buildings. It was a horrible experience and my thoughts of hope, love and compassion go to the people of Japan. Every dollar donated counts a lot in these moments. However, nothing can ever replace the loss of life. Thank you for putting this lens together.
