More With Less Today  update – here is an email from my reader Sue with another great way to help our brothers and sisters in Japan.

“Wanted to also let you know if you do an update on Japan help, another option is UMCOR, the United Methodist Committee on Relief.  It is one of the first on scene in any disaster (yes, even including September 11th) – they have such great infrastructure and set up that NBA and Nothing But Nets reached out to UMCOR for help in their malaria net efforts!!   www.UMCOR.org

*Here is an easy way-buy a special iTunes album with 38 songs for $9.99. All proceeds benefit the Japanese Red Cross.

The images on TV are devastating. My prayers go out to all who are affected. We can’t do much, but let’s all do what we can.

I will make a $1.00 donation for every time this post is shared on Facebook or your blog, up to $250.00. Simply by “liking this post” at the top, we can reach many more who may be willing to help too.
