Let's Give Love to Japan !

Let's Give Love to Japan !

As you all may know, Japan was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami a little over 2 weeks ago and to make matters worse, they are now facing a nuclear crisis. The earthquake triggered fires, which then caused severe damage to buildings and left 5 million without electricity and 1 million without water. Thousands of houses were either leveled or damaged and hundreds of thousands were left homeless, wounded, and grieving for lost relatives. On top of that, those in the surrounding areas of the Fukushima nuclear power plant are now living in constant fear of a potential nuclear meltdown and the leaking of radioactive material. 

In the first 24 hours of the initial disaster, the Japanese Red Cross dispatched 62 medical response teams- made up of about 400 doctors, nurses, and support staff- that provided assistance in the affected areas through mobile medical clinics and also helped asses the damage and needs of the communities affected. To this day, they are continuing to offer their assistance and support to those who need it, whether it's medical care or simply providing water and warm blankets. With the constant help of the Red Cross, Japan is slowly rebuilding itself after this cataclysmic chain of events, but they cannot do it alone. 

This is why for an entire month (March 28-April 28) in addition to the 5% going to one of our three chosen charities, SosikoBoutique.com will donate 10% of ALL the proceeds made from each product sold to the Red Cross in order to help out with the Japan relief effort and those affected throughout the Pacific.  If you want to donate extra to the Red Cross, please visit their website at www.redcross.org  or for those of you living in the US, you can simply text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

So, let's all show our LOVE and SUPPORT for those affected and help MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Cheers!
