[Highland Park] Pottery Sale for Tsunami/Earthquake Relief Continues
by Jeff Guerrero 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Dear Neighbors, thank you for your generosity this weekend. Between my friends, neighbors and family, I've been able to generate $325 in pottery sales, all of which has been donated to the relief effort in Japan via https://www.brothersbrother.org I have marked several items on my Etsy site as benefitting the relief effort, so the sale can continue. Please use the coupon code FREESHIPPING and I will hand-deliver your purchase(s) to your porch or mailbox: http://www.etsy.com/people/JeffGuerrero Again, thank you. And on behalf of my friends in Japan (all of whom are safe and sound so far), thank you. -Jeff Guerrero P.S. Here is part of an email from my friend Yoshi in Tokyo: *The earthquake was big. But Tokyo that I live was not terrible as the northeastern area of Japan. I, all of my family, my friends was OK. The day, I was taking pictures just near Tokyo bay. A tsunami warning was announced after a huge earthquake was settled. Anyway, I had to escape. But All Tokyo was full of a great traffic jam at all. All railroads stopped, and expressways were closed. Telephone communication was not established. I thanked for being a cyclist on that day! My home was only 20 miles away, but took 4 hours to get my home. There was so many people could not go home. Market was all packed. I ride for couples miles away to get waters, foods, and all we needs to survive. For my family, for my parents, and for neighbors. I found a high school boy at station. He was not able to get home. I asked him to stay my home, and he did. So, things are not ended. Japanese government says, another big earthquake (mag 7.0 or more!) will attack in another 3days.Tomorrow, we will meet 6 hours blackout as planed. We got ready for them. Anyway, I’m fine so far. And get ready for another day.*
