Please Help

By March 13, 2011October 4th, 20119 Comments

This is so easy โ€” please, if you have your phone with you, text JAPAN to 50555 to make a $10 donation to Global Giving. It will take you under 15 seconds and will help their on-the-ground efforts to provide relief and vital services to victims of Fridayโ€™s earthquake and tsunami. If everyone who shows up on DALS today does this, we can really do some good. If you would like to donate more than $10, please go to Global Givingโ€˜s website. Thank you.

    As an added incentive to donate to GlobalGiving, lots of Japan-based bloggers are holding raffles where donations entitle you to entry tickets to win all kinds of goodies.

    If youโ€™re interested, have a look here:

    Thank you. Than you. I am a Japanese living in the US. I read many food-related blogs but I didnโ€™t find anyone who mentioned the disaster in Japan and tried to help. You are the best!
    Also, thank you so much for all of you who responded and made donations. I canโ€™t explain how much we appreciate. We love you all!

  • Jenny Jenny says:

    MF โ€“ Thank you for your note. If there are other ways people can help, please let us know. Amanda and Andrea โ€“ thank you so much on behalf of MF and Diane and DALS.

    Livia โ€“ I just heard back from GG. Unfortunately only phones operated by a US carrier can text to donate. Anyone can, however use PayPal to donate through their website, http://www.globalgiving.org
    Hope this helps.
