Thanks to your help this morning, I was able to create a fundraising page through Canada helps. I knew you guys would pull through for me. :)
I’m really excited to announce that I’m holding a fundraiser to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross Japan Disaster relief. I have been thinking about how I could help out and I decided to do this because there is strength in numbers!
My goal is to raise at least $1,000. Fundraiser closes Wednesday March 16th at 10pm EST. It is a lot to raise in just over 1 day, but I KNOW that we can make this happen!
Please click here to be taken to the donation page.
this is a great idea! i donated :>
This is such a great idea!!!!
This is so generous of you, Angela – and when I just went to donate I see you have wayyyyy surpassed your goal. That is amazing, congratulations!!
This is great! I just went and donated about an hour ago, and there are already almost 30 more people who have donated since! Thank you for putting this together, you really are an inspiration!

OMG, I totally just got goosebumps reading this post! What a fabulous idea…you are awesome, Ange! I’ve already made a donation to the Red Cross but another $5-10 won’t kill me. Prayers to those affected by this tragedy…I can’t even imagine what they’re going through.
I have never posted before (yes, lurker!), but I just had to say this is so good of you! Thank you!
I’m so glad to see that you’ve surpassed your goal. Thank you so much for doing this. You are an amazing person.
Just made my donation…SO PROUD of you for how much you’ve raised! I’m very disappointed that our government hasn’t initiated a donation matching program like they did in Haiti (they did it within 2 days of the Haiti earthquake…not sure what they’re waiting for this time) – but very proud of awesome fellow Canadians like you who are taking matters into their own hands and raising as much as possible! Karma will thank you for this!!!
Thank you so much for organizing this, and a huge thank you to everyone who has been donating and helped raise so much!
The survivers in the affected areas are running very low on food, water, medicine, blankets, etc., and are often seen on TV in tears asking for those things to be sent as soon as possible. This is going to help a lot of people who real need it right now.
It’s been quite surreal seeing the rest of the world continue on with their lives as usual while things are so chaotic here, and knowing that people care enough to take some action really means a lot.
Thank you.
Bless your heart, Angela, and bless everyone who enters.
Thank you for doing this!
It’s so great you’re doing something to support the people in Japan! I’ve just started a little solidarity for Japan blogging project myself. I believe everybody who contributes in thinking of and praying for the people helps a little, even if it just symbolic.
I’ve also seen that picture of the woman above on a German news site. It’s so sad … Totally unconceivable.
This is an awesome idea! It’s so inspiring to see bloggers doing what they can to help. :D
you are amazing!! already exceeded your goal and more- you are truly beautiful on the inside and out!
What a lovely idea!
And to know you are four times past your goal with about 24 hours left! Crazy amazing!
Fingers crossed for me. ;)
As someone who has friends in Sendai – thank-you for doing this! It means an awful lot! :)
This is very impressive and incredible . In just 5 hours it went from 2,480 to over 4,000 or more . Wow! You pretty much quadrupled it already! Way to go Canada!
I’m in Australia so can’t enter but just wanted to say great idea! I am donating to Australia’s relief fund. So so sad :(
You are awesome!!
I made a $100 dollar donation but am in Dubai, so if my name gets picked please pick someone else xxx
That’s so cute!!
thank you so much for your generosity!
I’ve never commented before but I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog for a long time, and I just want to say thank you. I live in Tokyo and was and am thankfully safe, but it still means a lot to see you using your blog to try to help the many people here who will need it!
what an incredible thing to do, and what a response! over $4600 in the first day–way to go!!
