Hello, my name is David Oshima and my friends and I need your help. I was lucky enough to have lived there in Kumamoto , Japan during high school, and was welcomed with open arms. I would like to return the favor and wonderful treatment I recieved while I was in Kumamoto.  I am trying to raise funds for the immense cleanup effort that is, and will be taking place in Kumamoto following a 6.5 magnitude eartquake that hit the center of the city. The whole city was rocked and is expected to feel after shocks for up to a week. Damage is wide spread and not contained to Kumamoto. Kyushu, in southern Japan has seen wide spread damage and the people need our help. The money you generously provide will be used to help the oridanry people and small businesses that might not recieve the attention from  larger corporations. I would like to help the people of one of the greatest cities in the world recover from this unexpected tradjedy. I cannot begin to express my gratitude to anyone who is gracious enough to help out.
If it is uncomfortable to donate here, please donate elsewhere. When the funds are collected you will be notified about how your donation has helped. So far I am working with a bakery that is helping the people in need, but the bakery's machine broke in one of the after shocks. I have become very close to the wonderful family that runs this bakery and trust them very much. They will buy necessities for the people in the area and we will work together to find areas of most need.Money will be sent via Venmo app as that is the quickest way.



皆さんこんにちは、私は大島ディビッドです。2016年4月14日午後9時26分ごろ、熊本地方を震源とするマグニチュード6.5の地震が発生しました。
私にとって熊本は高校時代を過ごした大事な日本の故郷であり、沢山の想いがある場所です。
現在熊本にて私の高校時代の友達やその家族、恩師、ホストファミリー、お世話になった小さな商店街でお店を営む方々そして多くの熊本の方々が被災され避難しています。

このような状況で海を超えての小さな援助しか出来ませんが、私は熊本地震の被災者を支援し、募金を実施します。

現在熊本の友人達や災害支援ネットワークを軸に現在情報収集を行っており、必要な支援を調査しております。
活動内容は現地での調査を受けて決定しますが、現時点では被災された方への支援活動、支援物資の配布や炊き出し、小さな町企業への支援などを検討しています。
一刻も早く、一人でも多くの方に支援を届けられるよう、緊急募金にご協力をお願いします。
