JYJ Charity Foundation Japan Relief Fund

Dear Friends,

            On March 11, 2011, a ferocious tsunami spawned by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded slammed Japan's eastern coast Friday, killing thousands as it swept away boats, cars and homes while widespread fires burned out of control. As you guys have heard by now, we are collecting donations to help the victims of the Japanese tsunami. I’m sure you’ve all seen the devastation with your own eyes, and have heard the reports of the countless lives lost and altered forever. The damage that has befallen on the Rising Sun seems almost irreparable. Even if the waves of the tsunami have not washed up onto your shores where you live, the waves of emotion, fear, and compassion has hit home to us all.

We as a human race, whether divided by geological locations, skin color, language, religion, or other, are all the same at our core. The human element of sadness, grief, frustration, confusion, and compassion has gripped us all. In such a time as this, the human element that I wish was manifested and materialized is the element of kindness. Mark Twain once said, “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” Kindness can break through social and cultural boundaries and touch the hearts of men. People are encouraged to practice “random acts of kindness” but in this instance, we are to practice a deliberate intentional act of kindness; to show mercy, compassion, love, and just let people know that we care! It’s what makes us human. It’s what gives us worth. Kindness is goodness in action. We can’t explain why these things happen. It’s something beyond our realm of understanding, but what we can do is show love in action through kindness and giving in the time of need.

We have an opportunity to show compassion and kindness to the people of Japan. The images and video I’ve seen on the news has been horrific to say the least. I can’t imagine what the people of Japan are going through. Seeing the destruction, I don’t even know how we can help, if we can even make a difference, but we will try. We MUST try. We can’t stand idly by. Thousands have lost their family, children, mother, home, and even hope. Many children are crying out of hunger and fear and men and women have lost their homes and jobs. We can’t turn back time or put things the way they were, but what we can do is take action and show our kindness and a helping hand to these people that lost hope, peace, family, and their way of life. With your generosity they might be able to eat, find shelter, have a warm blanket, and perhaps reunite with their families again. We just hope for a sense of normalcy and possibly put a smile on their face once again.

We will be collecting donations from all of you to give to the people of Japan. The least we can do is offer up our prayers for them and send our gifts. This is why the JYJ Charity Foundation was created. Our mission statement, “We are a fan base of JYJ promoting the welfare of mankind through good deeds” will be our motto and steer this vehicle for future good deeds. Please join in giving to this cause. Please your best for the people of Japan. You will regret many things in life, but you will NEVER regret being kind. Thank you.

Sincerely,

John the Egg
