I just gave 1€ to Japan to an Association in my campus. So, it makes 114.57 yen.
The money will be given to the "The NGO collaboration center for Hanshin Quake Rehabilitation"... =)
I'm amazed by all the means we can have to give money to Japan, humanity isn't that bad, after all...^^
I donated $30 to Peace Winds America, $20 to Red Cross America, and $1 to the International Students Union on my school campus. I don't know who they're sending the money they raised to.
Just donated 4000 yen ($50) to the Japanese Red Cross through the Google page.
Japan has given so much to the world in terms of technology and innovation. An event like this is devastating, and they will continue to be in our prayers.
God bless Japan through her struggles and challenges during these times.
Japan gave us so much.This is what we can do for them. In my country material situation is worst then ever but I donated money to the Croatian Red Cross for Japanese Red cross, 'cause texting what U have here probably isn't working.
Even small amount is a big help now. Keep helping
Oh... During the week, I gave $5 to "Save the Children" via CityVille =)
Everyone playing zynga games on facebook can do it, it's really a good mean if you can't send money for now... ^^ I still don't know how that Red Cross text thing work in France :(
Thanks for donating to help the animals! I know that is my biggest fear too!
@Adam - Thanks for adding the link!
@everyone- GREAT JOB! It's so awesome to see so many people coming together to support the country and people who have given us so much! I hope to donate more next payday. I feel so sad when I see news coverage getting less and less, but then I come on here and my spirits are raised by everyone here, giving whatever they can. I know even kind words, prayers, and positive energy are appreciated by those affected. <3 <3
For now I've given $800 yen. It's certainly good to see so many people helping out. Whether it's via direct donations, creating artwork or simply expressing their well wishes. The fact that so many people care about the welfare of others is heartwarming. :)
I also donated 800 yen to Animal Rescue Kansai (Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue). That's one of my fears, that my animals would be left to fend for themselves 'cause I was lost in some disaster... :(
really glad that you guys are organizing this, they really have given so much to us, now it's time for us to reach out. ended up donating $10 to the red cross, just because i've done classes and programs with them in the past
I've just donated 12,000 yen not to long ago. It's time to help the people who gave us what we love today! This is an awesome thing you guys are doing and I can't wait to see the final numbers!
Thank you guys so much for putting up the link. Sadly I wish I could have given more...
@Hulaberry32 - You're welcome. Thanks for donating to help the animals.
@Adam - Is it possible for you to add the links I posted in my previous post, for where to donate to help Japanese animals affected, to the main post? Even if you just put them by where you have it listed that Hulaberry32 and I donated to those causes it would be great. Some people might want to help, but might not want to search through all the comments.
800 yen donated via Red Cross on Saturday morning.
Possibly sending more soon. Since I got payment twice in the past few days, I'm just going to send another portion over. They need it far more than I do.
I was planning on donating to the relief effort after I heard about the earthquake and it's aftermath. When I got the email from Otaku, it seemed like as good an opportunity as any. I donated 800 yen ($9.90) to the Japanese Red Cross. I like that Otaku is addressing the anime community to support a country that has offered us so much in arts and entertainment.

It's wonderful to see how many people are donating money, or participating to spread awareness of the situation! Unfortunately I cannot donate any money myself, but I have made an artistic contribution...
Thanks a lot, theOtaku staff!
I have made two donations to two different organizations.
1. Donation amount: ¥2,500 JPY
Total: ¥2,500 JPY
Purpose: for earthquake animals
Contributor: Christina
2. Contribution to Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support by Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support $30.00 USD
I know everyone is thinking about the humans, but please think about donating to help the animals affected by the earthquake and tsunami. I have four cats who I consider to be my children. I know if something horrible happened, and I knew I wasn't going to make it, my last thoughts would be that I hope they are ok, and I hope somebody comes to save them. I am sure there are many people who didn't make it through the earthquake/tsunami who felt the same way. Sending funds to help their beloved furry family members is a way to honor them. Here are links to some Japanese Animal Rescue Organizations that are helping....
I really really wish I could donate!! ^^' i asked my dad, but he said "no" with the simpilest of faces. I am sad, he is usually really cool! but alas! I am currently drawing a picture for it, so i will definitally tag it for this! :)
I wish everyone out there in japan good luck! you have no idea how defistated i was in school today, we spent all of science hour reading stuff on it, and watching CNN student news about it...~i thought i was going to be sick!~
It seems you need a credit card to donate through that google link. I don't have one... But i'll find another way! i've donated £4 through buying one of Yours Truly'sadoptable art critters ^^
*Finds a currency converter* I think that is 536 yen...
[edit: Done! Donated £25 through the british red cross Japan relief site ^^ Sooo 3,886 yen in total.]
Now to make some cards...

I can't because I don't have a card or something^^; But I'll try to have information about what Red Cross is doing here, in France.
I did a wallpaper for Japan that I posted today anyway (just thought about the tag "japanrelief", silly me) and I will participate to the challenge created for Japan... That's all I can do for now, alas... *sighs*
YAY!!!!! Do this everyone! If you want good karma now is the time to get it do the right thing!!!!!!!!!
P.S. the world does NOT end in 2012!!!! That is simply when the Mayan calendar ended. Oh and there will be a Supermoon all this month of March 2011. Look it up. And pray for Japan!!!!!! Much love to all you out there with family in Japan or if you are in Japan
On twitter, there's a movement going around among artists (specially notable mangakas like Noizi Ito) called #draw_for_japan where you can submit your drawings!

Just donated 800 yen. As a former volunteer for the Red Cross, I strongly urge everyone to donate. Even five bucks can pay for a day's worth of meals for someone, or blankets (or coffee for volunteers and rescue workers). They really appreciate it.
I definately cant donate moneywise, but i definately can donate artwise. From now on, it's all about Japan, and i'm going to tag them all japanrelief. This is the least i can do for Japan, who's offered us soo much.
Just donated $5. I wanted to do a bit more, but I can't right now. Nevertheless, my university's anime club, as well as a few other clubs on campus, are going to get together and do a fund raiser for Japan and I'm hoping by then I'll have a bit more money that I'll be able to donate. ^^
I have just now donated 10 dollars via that Japanese Red Cross page.^^
This is a fantastic idea, and thanks for bringing this up!
I have made a fan work for it too, and I am sure that many people will do the same!
I can't really do a whole lot for donating money, though I really REALLY wish I could. But I can at least make an artwork and share a few links in it, and of course, tag it with Japanrelief. I'll just keep my fingers crossed for them.
Unfortunately, whatever money I have has been transferred into paypal account which doesn't seem to be a valid way to donate funds :(...at least not to my knowledge (if anyone knows otherwise, please enlighten me, I would love to find out how to donate) and I'm just not sure about revealing my bank info over the internet without a "go between" like paypal, there's just so many risks.
but I can at least maybe do something in the way of art, you've already used my tribute image for this news post, is there anything I can do with that to maybe help direct viewers to trustworthy donation sites, etc.? (I know you mentioned something like this in the article, but I'm afraid I didn't fully understand what to do)

On twitter, there's a movement going around among artists (specially notable mangakas like Noizi Ito) called #draw_for_japan where you can submit your drawings!

I donated about 800 yen yesterday. If I can afford it I'll donate some more.

Just donated 800 yen. As a former volunteer for the Red Cross, I strongly urge everyone to donate. Even five bucks can pay for a day's worth of meals for someone, or blankets (or coffee for volunteers and rescue workers). They really appreciate it.

I really wish I could donate, I really do. But since I can't right now, I'll have to work on some artwork and spread some links around. :)

I definately cant donate moneywise, but i definately can donate artwise. From now on, it's all about Japan, and i'm going to tag them all japanrelief. This is the least i can do for Japan, who's offered us soo much.

lf you have paypal, you can also go to ACParadise to upgrade a member. lf you upgrade someone, the money goes to Red Cross.

Just donated $5. I wanted to do a bit more, but I can't right now. Nevertheless, my university's anime club, as well as a few other clubs on campus, are going to get together and do a fund raiser for Japan and I'm hoping by then I'll have a bit more money that I'll be able to donate. ^^

I have just now donated 10 dollars via that Japanese Red Cross page.^^
This is a fantastic idea, and thanks for bringing this up!
I have made a fan work for it too, and I am sure that many people will do the same!

I can't really do a whole lot for donating money, though I really REALLY wish I could. But I can at least make an artwork and share a few links in it, and of course, tag it with Japanrelief. I'll just keep my fingers crossed for them.

This is a great idea, really good concept! I'm not too sure what I can do in monetary terms, but I will definitely draw up something.

I already donated 50 dollars to the salvation army charity for Japan relief effort. Does that count?

Google Checkout is Google's version of PayPal, highly trustworthy.
Good idea about linking to other ways to donate, will come soon.

Unfortunately, whatever money I have has been transferred into paypal account which doesn't seem to be a valid way to donate funds :(...at least not to my knowledge (if anyone knows otherwise, please enlighten me, I would love to find out how to donate) and I'm just not sure about revealing my bank info over the internet without a "go between" like paypal, there's just so many risks.
but I can at least maybe do something in the way of art, you've already used my tribute image for this news post, is there anything I can do with that to maybe help direct viewers to trustworthy donation sites, etc.? (I know you mentioned something like this in the article, but I'm afraid I didn't fully understand what to do)
