*If you pray, consider adding a request for the 50 brave volunteers who have stayed at the nuclear plants trying to bring them under control. Their heroism should not go unrecognized.

Thank you very much for this post.
My mother country is facing such a big disaster and we are in deep sorrow.
But I believe we can re-construct a new country together hand in hand.
Help from overseas makes our heats very warm.
Thank you very much for your help.
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to direct my readers to it as well.
Thanks for this post, Blake.
I'll also direct my readers to it.
I can't imagine how you feel, but know if it were a place where I visited and loved, I'd be more overwhelmed than I am now.
It's such a world tragedy with no end in sight.
Thanks for posting this, Blake. I will pass it along to my contacts.
We'll keep the prayers going. They definitely need all the help they can get.
