{please help} for japan with love....update

you all are so amazing.

the support from the blogging world has been far beyond what Utterly Engaged and I had imagined.

and there are SO many huge and giving hearts.

we are getting a little overwhelmed with so many inquiries.

so we have decided to just have this here as our official detail blog post about

For Japan With Love.

There are two parts to it.

Fundraising:

For Japan With Love has a direct link on the website to our fundraising page for ShelterBox.

ShelterBox was one of THE first organizations asked by Japan to help and were on hand on the Saturday after the quake.  Each large, green ShelterBox is tailored to a 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. 

 Please check it out and whatever you can contribute will be so appreciated.

You all can check out what I did for mine here or Utterly Engaged's here and do it your way if you'd like.  

I'll be posting a reminder post on Thursday evening on my blog too.
