Help Japan: Single Paper Crane
As you may have heard over the weekend, Japan suffered a major earthquake, and one of strongest in recorded history. Relief efforts are ongoing, as waves continue to hit throughout the country, making rescue and recovery difficult. Our hearts go out to all of our Japanese users, as well as the citizens of Japan coping with this difficult time.
I know times are hard for everyone right now, but if you'd like to assist with relief efforts, you can text the letters REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation, or by going to the Red Cross website. Other organizations are also joining the efforts in Japan, and every little bit helps.
The item at the top of this post is the new Free Gift. :heart:

Thank you for this. The worst part about this is that the earthquake and tsunami have spiked off another problem: the nuclear reactors on Japan are exploding, so citizens and volunteers are in danger of radiation poisoning. It really is just one blow after another. Luckily, none of the students at my school have been directly affected, but my thoughts are with everyone who has been. May the victims rest in peace, and I wish the survivors all the luck in the world in recovering from this tremendous disaster.
P.S. I especially like the free gift. The paper crane has always been associated with peace and healing in Japan especially, so it is fitting to have it as a reminder for us here, safe in our own homes.

It was only a matter of time till this reached Subeta.
There are some Japanese exchange students at my school, and it's great comfort to hear from them when they tell me their families are okay.
I'm not religious, and I don't have money, so I can't pray nor donate, but I will keep Japan in my thoughts and hope that these disasters will stop.
IN OTHER NEWS, other than Japan.
The surrounding islands were also greatly effected, and I don't see anyone helping them -shakes head-

You worded your post much better than I ever can. xD You see, that's exactly what I mean!! It's nice to spread awareness and such, and it IS really tragic, but some people just can't afford to donate, and yet it's mentioned on every website they frequent, trying to get people to donate when some just can't. Plus there ARE plenty more problems in the world that need funds aswell, not just this one. I guess it's just 'cause of the scale of it, and such.

If you cannot donate money I implore you to donate blood. Right now, as far as US statistics, only 3% of eligible donors do so. One pint can save up to 3 lives. And it's free!

I was hoping this would be done, like it was for Hatti. I know of three different families who live there and fortunately none of them were affected. I'll be donating through a different organization though, because the money will get there faster than with any other company as it goes directly into a Japanese bank account >.< I pass all my love to those in Japan and I wish you all good fortune :)

I'm glad the awareness is there but I wish Subeta (and others) would stop pushing donate by text so much.
There are a lot of scams related to it and depending on your carrier and plan sometimes the phone companies make quite a bit of money off of it on top of forcing the charities to pay more overhead to process the donations and wait longer for their money.
It's quick and easy, and the only way some people can donate, but the system still has a long way to go. Thanks for at least including the links as well, too many people just push the 'text' with no alternatives.

Thank you Keith, for the beautiful item and for calling attention to this terrible real life tragedy.

I echo your encouragement for people to make a donation, even a small one, and pray for the people who lost their homes and loved ones, and for a speedy recovery.

Oh lord. Listen, lemme reword my post before you guys continue to go off on one:
There are PLENTY of problems in the world, okay? This is just one.. Sure it's tragic and all, and you can't help but feel sorry for them, but I don't need it shoved in my face 24/7. And when did I say it was an inconvience to me? lol. Probably shoulda worded my post like this from the beginning. Sorry for offending you guys. You can stop ganging up now. :) I am unwell with a cold, so I'm not thinking 100% straight.

@McKay when you catch a fluke, when you broke a leg, when you are hungry, is that's because nature is acting. If you don't search for a cure (going to a hospital, eating something), then, you better die because "is against the nature"? Of course there's nothing we can do to stop earthquakes, but at least we can help the people who's suffering right now, traped, starving, scared. Helping others is our human nature.

We watched videos about it in class and this little prick goes " what am i gonna do without new ipods?" the teachers flipped but didn't send him out. then we watched a video a little boy frozen in fear in front of the massive wave. he only moved when it was too late and the little jerk pipes up and says ' oh,look, he's going surfing!". people make me sick. when i told others of his horrible comments i was surprised at how many people in my school did NOT care about japan. one girl even said they deserve it for killing whales. it made me sick.People in general make me sick. my heart (and soon my money) goes out to those poor souls in japan.

Text message donations may not be sent to Japan until after your next cellphone billing cycle is completed - a process that can take up to 90 days.

Be aware - A little controversy is stirring about text message donations being sent to Japan. Apparently, certain carriers like Verizon and AT&T will wait up to 90 days to transfer funds to the areas where they are desperately needed. Obviously, that time frame can make a considerable difference.
The same situation happened after the Haiti earthquake, but these carriers came through and changed the policy for those donations. Right now, petitions are circulating attempting to get major cellphone carriers to make the aid donations a priority, so I wouldn't completely rule out donation via text message.
I just thought I'd throw that out there, since major cellphone carriers do not make a habit of releasing such important information.

All of those charities are set up to take money and put it to the right use. That's all a CS item would do, is us take the money (and paypal take a share of it, and then us have to put some towards administrative charges) and then give that money to charity.
It doesn't make sense for us to handle charitable contributions. It just doesn't.

People are moved since subeta douse try hard to raise awareness about most natural disasters. Like hatie and japan. Besides why donate money to subeta for subeta to send it to charity ( a non charitable site when paypal takes some of the proceeds sellers make) when you can donate strait to the relief bypassing the middle mam and help the people directly without loosing money in the middle.

I think this is lovely, but Sebeta could do so much more without much effort on it's part =/ They could say that even 1% of this months CS sales go to Japan and do a sale or something, or create a new CS item/unretired the Oriental trunk or something I don't know. It's nice that they're addressing the issue but I don't understand the singing praises when all they've really done is tell us about something we already know with an item that doesn't help. I sound harsh and I really don't mean to, I'm just always disappointed Subeta doesn't do more when it could really help.

not like all of us dont already know the tragic things occuring in Japan.
Thankfully my family there is safe, close to the epicenter of the quake but
sheilded by the mountain from the tsunami thank God!
i havent been able to contact a friend not knowing her number.
A man who owns a Dojo near my uncles shop
is in sheer dispaire and loss,
his house in Japan is totally distroyed and his
wife and child are missing.
Everything that is happening right now is totally crazy!
The nuclear reactors, earthquake, tsunami.
Im trying to donate some money and wish i could be there
so that i could lend a helping hand!
im sure everyone is afraid, lost, and confused.
the death toll is getting higher and its so heart renching that it tugs on every one of my heart strings!
I hope everyone learns that none of us are promised tomorrow,
we have to love, let go, and live our lives to the fullest!!
My prayers go out to Japan!
To all of the people!
To everyone who is helping!
and to everyone who has donated or helped from afar in some way!
all we can do is hope and pray!

Secondly, this free gift is beautiful - and, thirdly, it fits in exactly with my pet Oridzuru. Origami cranes have special meaning to me. :)
Thank you very much for this.

Such a pretty item for such a tragic event. Hopefully the worst is over for Japan, and the rebuilding can start.

Aw, man. I hope the death toll isn't as high as I dread 8( It's sad enough that an online friend lost some of his own RL friends to the Earthquake over there 8C
I've heard that a FOURTH nuclear reactor has caught on fire on the news earlier, leading to even more radiation. Scientists are still studying the after effects from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic-bomb drops of World War II (even though it's irritating to hear that they're being treated as guinea pigs while the scientists are at it).
I heard rumor that a volcano has also erupted as another result of this earthquake. It pains me to having to hear and read about all these happenings and how the death count is climbing higher. This is making me fear the truth of 2012 O.O
My heart goes to all those who have suffered, indirectly or actual survivors or those in pain from radiation. I hope that many survive and something is created/formed as a sort of memorial to those lost to these disasters in Japan.
And thank you Subeta for helping raising awareness of this. I'll donate right away. Oh, and thank you for the cute little paper crane gift, very beautiful, I might add.
And thank you to those who donated. I'm sure that all those contributions will equal more help and resources sent to the survivors. My heart goes out to all of you.

It wasn't very long after the New Zealand quake, and very frightening to happen anytime and any place. Thanks for the news post, and for making a difference in the aid relief effort. Thinking about the people in Japan as well.

Very sweet! Thank you Subeta! I have a nephew in the Tokyo area and was very relieved to talk to him on Saturday! Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone in Japan, especially those in the coastal areas that were so devastated!

One of the most commendable aspects of Subeta - the fact that you're more than willing to bring attention to horrific natural calamities, offer support, and encourage those who can to donate to relief funds.
