Japan's tsunami-Hard times

For starters I'd like to say please forgive me to those families in which I can't help. There are million of people left homeless and although I've sent donations and I know it's not enough. A broken spirit isn't easily fixed and i'm sorry. We live in a time where we're buried in regret of the past and what we have yet to accomplish. Disastrous events like this remind us of why we need to stick closer together as a society. Whether it's family or nations our bonds and understanding need to be more oriented on being a unity on this Earth, why must these things bring us to reality of what we can lose? My house burnt down a couple years ago and there was no funding for me, I had absolutely nothing but a salvaged wallet with 10 dollars and angel wall hangings. I felt like the world didn't care, when i'd give my last dollar to a stranger. What was I going to do? What i'm getting at is... I've worked all my life and there is a low resource(minimal) government funding for these types of events... "Why"? My friend is over there now, and her parents are in critical condition and all I can say is, "I'm sorry". I know those words don't mean much but i'm deeply sorry. Reminds me so much of hurricane "Katrina". What do people do when they have to go from having absolutely nothing? Nowhere; but thankfully there are people like you reading this who at least care and are sympathetic to the situation. My friend Dave went to a meeting at his job and was criticized badly for not having funds to donate, people are cynical and I pray that one day I'll be successful enough to make a large impact when something like this happens again because.... It could've been me. Forgive me for not being able to mend the pain.
