How to Donate to Flood Victims on Amazon

The death toll from the tsunami in Japan was nearly 14,000.

On March 11, 2011, the coasts of Japan were hit by a tsunami. Since then, many people have sought ways to show their support to those affected by the tsunami and to donate to the disaster relief effort. While most individuals are not able to give large amounts of money or personally devote time to rebuilding those areas, they can donate in small amounts through Amazon.com. Amazon.com offers several different options for purchasing products that have a portion of their proceeds donated to help Japan.
