If your life was trash(ed)

In Japan the death toll rises above 8000 with about 13,000 people missing.  In my home in Alabama my friends and family are spared, some by a hair from mile wide tornadoes which killed hundreds.  Now, in Japan, I have Japanese friends asking me what they can do to help Alabama.  Unbelievable.  Their hearts are vast.  So lets share info.
