Michiyo is refreshed!

Michiyo comes from a costal village in north east Japan. Luckily her entire family evacuated immediately after the earthquake, and they all survived the tsunami. While half of her house remains standing, it is still impossible to reach because the road is under water from the land sink. Michiyo is thankful that her family is safe, but still feels like the whole disaster was a dream.

Michiyo and her family live at the Santanbashiri Transitional Shelter. While they are not working to rebuild their oyster farm, they are able to participate in JEN activities thanks to your generous donation at the Compassion Japan event back in April. Michiyo’s favorite event was the flower planting, after which she felt “fully refreshed!” Thank you for giving Michiyo and her family the opportunity for a much needed break during this time of recovery.
