I think you will find the Japanese Red Cross could do with all the money it can get at this moment in time.
More power to your elbow Rapha for not taking twgfwb attitude.
I'll definitely be going to their website and making a donation, which I gather Rapha will double.
Chapeaux!!!!!!
A natural human response at a time like this is to want to do something, anything, to help. Good for Rapha and for all those organizations and individuals who are giving their time and money.
That might be true, but lots of the organisation working out there do.
The sentiment is good, but I've read a fair amount on the web today about how Japan neither wants or needs financial assistance at this point.
