As you all know I lived in Tokyo for a year back in 2006/2007 and have loved Japan and its people ever since. The devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11 has taken over 20,000 lives (including people missing and unaccounted for) and has left much of the North in ruins. People of Sendai, the survivors of this devastating natural disaster, are doing it tough in evacuation centres with little to no food and heating. The Red Cross is helping with the relief effort and is currently accepting donations. To help with the fundraising I am putting together an ebay auction for fashion designers, bloggers and stylists all to get involved and help the country which inspires us every day with its creative fashion. The Red Cross has approved my ebay auction, and it will go live on Monday 28th March.
To DONATE goods to the auction:
Please email me at hayley.h@onthestreetsofsydney.com with a photo or photos of your item, a description and the RRP if applicable. I will then confirm with you the details and send through your items url once the auction is live on Monday.
The deadline for donating goods is 10am Monday 28th March.
The idea is the donated goods are sent by you once the auction is over so as to save money on postage and also for the environment.
We want to raise as much money as possible for the people of Japan, so high quality goods and photos would be much appreciated.
If you have any questions please let me know.
PLEASE reblog/retweet/tumblr this information
Thanks,

Great work Haley. Since I don't have anything fabulous to donate, I will just have to look into bidding! Will tweet and fb my butt of for you too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Wow! What an excellent idea. I can't even imagine what the people of Japan are going through. I just donated a bunch of clothes to Goodwill, but I will see if there's anything else I can find.

I just saw this now, so unfortunately I'm too late to donate clothes. Great initiative on your part! As I've commented here before, I lived in Tokyo for 9 years so this is a cause close to my heart too. I donated to Doctors without Borders last week but I think Japan is going to need support for a long time to come.
