Helping Japan

At around 1 A.M. U.S. timing, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan on Friday morning, that would later to be know to move the country 13 feet closer to the U.S. Not only was the country hurt overall, but the people big time too. The Kydo news officially announced that 2,000 bodies were found on the northeast coast on Monday. As of 10 A.M. on Monday, 1720 people were missing and 1972 people were injured (cnn.com). Japan is a disaster area.
In Tokyo, capital of Japan, they were hit with the earthquake, though 100 miles away, but still the shaking for a minute or more would go on. They weren't even hit by the tsunami, though in other areas the waves would travel inward 6 miles. The problem there at the moment, at the least is food. Fuel supplies too are cut, and with few airport flights going out, how to get out? Power is out everywhere to conserve energy, decided by the government (cnn.com). It's going bad, even for cities like Tokyo who were paradise compared to cities such as Miyagi, Japan.
In this city alone, 10,000 people are expected to be dead. 10,000 people. The disaster has it so much, it made the whole world lose 1.8 milliseconds of daylight. It may not seem like a lot, but to cause something that huge, you need a huge natural disaster, such what happened a few days ago.
People want to help though, and that's exactly what they are doing. The Japanese Ministry now has help from 11 other countries, like the U.S., France, and Russia.
A man was seen riding a bike through the wreckage, a sign on it saying his wife's name, showing pictures to anyone who would listen, to find his missing wife.
The world is helping though, President Obama has told in a speech that we will never lose hope in Japan through these dark times, and was preparing the defense department to send out help to the country. South Korea is sending out 340 rescue people soon, ready to ease the pain that the disaster caused on Japan. Thailand is offering 165,000 dollars (U.S. money) to Japan, ready to offer more once the extent of the damage is known.
We too should help Japan, raising money in fundraising, ext., to help Japan get out of this mess. Together in Averill Park we should work together to create a fundraiser that will raise at least a thousand dollars to help kids, victims, nuclear plants, in helping Japan to get back to where it was before.
