A magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit Noto peninsula in Japan on January 1st and destroyed the town which I grew up and love. 79 people have been confirmed dead, many are injured, and the numbers are climbing. Residents are in evacuation shelters with limited basic necessities and will be displaced indefinitely. I appreciate if you can spend a moment to review the link below and donate to help the recovery process.

AAR Japan donation - https://aarjapan.gr.jp/en/donate/
Please designate “Noto, Japan Earthquake 2024” for specific cause.

Sincerely,
