A group of Canadian quilting friends gathered 1800 quilts that were sent to Japan. We hoped these small gifts would show how much we cared and help them continue to live and move on.Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093712766438338558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-9634872974953829862012-10-20T10:22:26.169-06:002012-10-20T10:22:26.169-06:00Thank you for sharing these photos with us.

There are so many people who are trying to find a way to support their family, nowhere to go but the tempory homes or unsafe home. I know we shouldn't forget those people and try to find a way to lend them a hand some how.<br />I hope your loved ones will be safe and things will work out for them.Sachikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06773154350531152547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-24712497255684736202012-10-16T16:07:52.917-06:002012-10-16T16:07:52.917-06:00Thanks for the pictures, as hard as they were to l...Thanks for the pictures, as hard as they were to look at. It was so moving, seeing the items waiting there to be collected by their owners. My aunt, who lives about 10 miles north of Sendai, is forced to live in the bottom 3 rooms of her house since the earthquake. The tsunami didn't destroy it but the earthquake made the upstairs unsafe to live in and she doesn't have the resources for repairs. Cousins in Sendai are still working to pull their lives together with businesses and homes completely lost. It's so easy to forget that the struggles for Japan will most likely last at least a generation.arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08794418934118768644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-10268086466966639502012-10-10T05:01:11.671-06:002012-10-10T05:01:11.671-06:00It is so sad to hear of the lives that were lost i...It is so sad to hear of the lives that were lost in both of these tragedies. <br /><br /> I truly believe that God can and will use all things to bring glory to himself, even if we can't understand how. I don't think our lives on this earth are meant to be perfect. And that is evident every time there is a natural disaster. But it makes me deeply sad to see so much destruction.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223734164912831613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4276080670931842601.post-30589641251029744362012-10-07T08:10:12.166-06:002012-10-07T08:10:12.166-06:00Thank you for sharing this part of your trip.

The Media coverage does not bring it close to us, however your pictures do bring it close and make it real. I pray that Japan will be safe and heal the wounds and destruction to their lives.

When people are broken only love and care over time can heal and bring hope. Your pictures are such a poignant reminder of the tragedy of that day.Naturally Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999271127735997770noreply@blogger.com
