Petya I. Edwards Foundation Acting to Aid Japan Through Fundraising Efforts

DALLAS, March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- After the devastating earthquake and tsunami that have hit Japan, the country is in dire need of aid. Hundreds of thousands of individuals have been left homeless, without food or water, and in need of the most essential supplies to survive the aftermath of these horrific natural disasters. Petya I. Edwards Foundation, a non-profit organization focused on providing care to families in need in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, has called upon people in its community and across the country to donate what they can to help the individuals in Japan survive this ordeal.

The full extent of the damage to the country is unfathomable; however, it is certain that if any recovery is to be made it will only be possible with the help of the rest of the world. Petya I. Edwards Foundation has begun accepting donations in the form of money, bottled water, non-perishable food, and clothing to be sent directly to those who have been afflicted by the earthquake and the tsunami.

Through the Petya I. Edwards Foundation website, www.pedwards.org/endeavors, and through a cause hosted by Facebook, called Help Petya I. Edwards Foundation Provide Relief to Japan, individuals can make secure monetary donations that will be put toward emergency relief efforts. Any monetary contributions are eligible as a tax-write off, as Petya I. Edwards Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

"I'm still speechless," commented Petya Edwards about the natural disasters that have occurred. "My heart aches for all of those people who are suffering. I know that the amount of money and supplies needed to support and rebuild are staggering, but I'm also confident that every little bit helps. Petya I. Edwards Foundation was created to help those in need and I'm certain that through the generosity of our community and country as a whole we can provide substantial relief."    

Edwards has called upon everyone to donate what they can to the cause, be it money or desperately needed supplies. To make your donation, visit www.pedwards.org/endeavors or donate through the Help Petya I. Edwards Foundation Provide Relief to Japan cause on Facebook. For more information about Petya I.
