Thank
you so much for your speedy delivery of items!
(This is
part of a letter of gratitude to those who steadfastly supported us and sent
donations in April before the opening of Miyagi Jonet)
I was
amazed at how many donations came in, even without sending out much of a
request. I had simply said we could take donations at my house. (Now we have a
large storage room full).
When
donations arrived, we didn’t record them, but just
immediately delivered them. We did
this for days.
For
those on email, we’ve thanked you, but for those who are not on the web, we’ve
been belated in thanking you, and for that we apologize. We tried to contact those who made
donations by telephone, but often got no answer so we are sending out letters
of thanks instead.
To
Kyushu’s Ishimoto-san, thank you for your swift donations.
We
received mountains of donations from Yokota-san’s facilities. We’ve already delivered them to
Onagawa, Tsukihama, Ishinomaki, Higashi-Matsushima, etc. Thank you so much.
We
received various donations from the staff of the Sendai Foundation for Gender
Equality on a number of occasions. Thank you so much. We’ve already delivered
them to Onagawa, Tsukihama, and Ishinomaki.
We delivered the
incontinence protection underwear and pads and other donations (underwear for
the elderly, underwear for the staff, skin care and hair care products, and
fruits) to Ishinomaki’s group home for those with Alzheimer’s disease (a nurse
colleague of mine is managing the home).
During the tsunami, 18
patients got up on a table, but their legs got wet. They’ve been moved to an
observation facility, and now they’ve been lined up on the floor to sleep. Two
have died from the exhaustion of the chill.
Friends at Hearty’s gave
many donations and have helped with deliveries. Thank you.
To Kobayashi-san of
Childline-Miyagi, thank you so much for children’s clothes, children’s shoes,
adult clothes, many foodstuffs, and rice.
(There are many, many
more so I will put supporters’ names on the webpage. Even then I may miss some
and I apologize for that.)
