On March 11, 2011, the tsunami in north east Japan carried away Shizue’s house and all of her belongings. She was forced to stay in an evacuation shelter, until she was fortunate enough to be given a spot at Omori Danchi Transitional Shelter.

Shizue was worried about how she would arrange her new place at the shelter, but she found out that JEN had already prepared everything for her before she arrived. This made moving easier and helped Shizue be comfortable in her new home. Thanks to the donation you made at the Compassion Japan event back in April, JEN is providing events and services for people in transitional shelters in north east Japan.

Thanks to the help of JEN, Shizue has made friends with her neighbors and is recovering little by little. She is very grateful to you, and to everyone else who has helped her through this tragedy.
