Keiko recovers little by little

Screen shot 2012-01-05 at 3.10.41 PM
Dear Robert,

Keiko evacuated her home along with her daughter when the earthquake hit northeast Japan. However, when her daughter went back to the home to retrieve their dog, she was killed in the tsunami. Luckily the dog, although blind, survived and now lives with Keiko at the transitional shelter at Motoura Yashiki Danchi.

Keiko’s sadness from losing her daughter caused her to suffer from insomnia. She was told about  JEN events and began attending them in the community space of her shelter. Keiko attended tea parties, received massages, did hand crafts, and was examined by a clinical psychologist through the JEN programs. Your generous donation at the Compassion Japan event last April has provided Keiko these simple, yet healing activities. She says that her friends and doctors tell her she looks better, and that she is recovering little by little. Thank you Robert!
