I have family in Tokyo and when I saw FSUSA wanted to help, it truely touched my heart. i placed my order this morning and got some more 555 (which I think is awesome) and then got some Doublemint and oRYental to try. : )
PLEASE HELP US HELP JAPAN! 20% off juice, 10% to Japan, and we'll match it!

I hope you're feeling better MN. I'm sending you a "virtual" hot cupa tea right now!
Hey edw, THIS is 1 reason why. People who wouldn't otherwise be buying right now. I'm going over there to order too.
Reasons:
1. Those people DO need help.
2. Gratitude for Mistress Nomad's help (thru her videos, posts, etc.) getting me off analogs.
3. Continued inability to shake off small case of warm fuzzies for MN.
Frankly, if she wanted to save the mosquitoes, I'd write a check...Edit: Just got back from FSUSA. Ordered 5 juices I probably would have never tried. BTW, today is Sunday and the code does still work everyone!

For everthing you just said.
yeah MistressNomad was taking care of the sale and donations etc. but got very sick and had to bow out for a couple of days. will shut it off tomorrow wwhen she makes it back in. Thanks to all who are doing this with us, truthfully Pamela and I did not need to shell out some of our own hard earned money to match the funds received here but it is the right thing to do, and we teach that to our children everyday.
Mauisun, It's really great of you to be doing it. Props to you.
Wishing Mistress Nomad a full & speedy recovery.
PS. I just got my shipping notice from FSUSA. (4 hours after ordering... on a Sunday!)

Glad to here you are bit better MN, take the time you need to get well! Cuz trying to come back too soon is not a good thing.. trust this advise from an Old Guy!
Alright guys, I'm back! Thank you for the well-wishes.
David and Pam left this sale up for an extra 2 days. Thank you so much to them for doing that. So any last-minute folks ordering this morning, last call!
Thank you so much for your participation.

That's a wrap, folks!
Thank you so much to everyone who donated. The Help Japan sale was one of the most popular, and ranks as one of the top 5 coupon codes we've ever had.
We're going to wait a couple hours for all the orders using the code to process, then we will find the total you guys raised. Thank you again.

We have processed all the orders using the "helpjapan" code, and added up the total for the 10% of each order donated, plus our match. We still have a couple odds and ends to add in (our donations, shipping refunds people kindly asked us to kick into the pot instead, and other miscellanious displays of awesome) that haven't been accounted for yet, but we're pretty much done.
You ready for this?
The total was $1176.67, but we'll round it to an even $1200.
You guys are the best. Thank you so, so much.
After more research and consideration, we are looking at Direct Relief International to send our donation to. Their focus is on providing medical care and resources. Here's why we dig them:
1. In 2010, 98.8% of funds went to Program Expenses (i.e., the stuff you donate for in the first place). Previous years show a similar statistic with little variation.
2. They allow allocation of funds specifically to Japan, and 100% of that money is used in the relief effort. Their operation expenses are covered by a grant.
3. They are a broad-spectrum charity with a variety of programs and no affiliations of any kind. All people of every race, gender, age, and religion are helped equally. In the case of disaster relief, where anyone can be affected, people of all socioeconomic status are also helped equally.
4. They operate, most years, at a very small surplus, meaning they aren't going broke, or making bank. They are sustainable. Some years have had very small deficits, but they recover quickly and seem to manage their money effectively. This means your donation isn't paying their debts.
We're going to finish adding up the loose bits, and get our donation off to where it's needed in the next couple days. I'll let you guys know.
Thank you again. Give yourselves a round of applause.
Love,
MistressNomad

Awesome, glad to help out, and get some (from what I hear ) great juice at the same time.

Sounds Great to me Mistress, any charity that makes maximum use of funds for the intended purpose is good. Glad to hear we got almost 1200.00 wish it could have been more, but I know everyone dug deep for this effort! So hats off to all! That includes you guys at FSUSA obviously..
A lot of our posts said the sale stopped Saturday, so that may have slowed down the last day or two. But, that's better than not having those couple days! Most of your orders were made before Sunday, so really, we did just about hit our goal in the timeframe we were intially going to be running it. You guys did awesome.
People really did dig deep. It's a tough economy out there, and there were a lot of people who told us they wished they could have done more. But those little dollars add up, and that's part of why we ran it - because not all of us have $10, $20, even $35 to kick around (which is the minimum for a lot of charities). This way if you just needed juice and all you've got money for is what you absolutely needed, you could still help out a good cause.
Thanks to David and Pam for extending the sale and for decided to match the donations, as well! You're the best!
