Bloomin' Baby Bump
Hello!
Look how adorable our design looks on a baby bump! Know any expectant mothers? The Tee for Japan is the perfect gift. Ultra comfy and cute during pregnancy (and beyond), the tee boasts the added benefit of supporting children and adults abroad. We think that's something every mama will love.
A little update:
It's been a year now since the devastation in Japan began. We're still selling away tees, and raising money for donation. The primary application of the donations we're making is toward mental health services for citizens of Japan, a much-needed service to those affected by the enduring trauma.
As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.

Happy Holidays!
Noreen, Barbara and James all coincidentally (and merrily) wore their favorite tees on Christmas Eve in Santa Cruz, CA.
Interview with Laila Karamally, CEO of SHINE Humanity
Tees for Japan recently met with CEO of SHINE Humanity, Laila Karamally about their Japan effort, the current conditions in Ishinomaki, their plans and obstacles for the future, and what sets them apart from the other non-profit organizations out there.
Laila Karamally is founder and CEO of Orange County-based nonprofit, SHINE Humanity. Laila draws from both her Masters in Social Work and a decade-long to lead SHINE, which in 2010 raised almost $1 million with the purpose of providing humanitarian, medical and disaster relief assistance to global communities in need.
A Gift that Keeps on Giving
As the year nears its end, we reflect on the past months, and look forward toward the next chapter. We take time to offer tokens of our affection to those we love. This year, consider giving a gift that has a far-reaching positive effect on those whose past year has been devastating, and whose new year appears infinitely bleak.
People in Japan have lost their families. They have lost the communities definitive of their lives and identities. They have lost their livelihoods, their means for survival, which may only be reestablished with much more time and many more resources. One can imagine the struggle not to lose hope, too.
The gift of one of our tees is also a donation toward the support of Japanese citizens who are still very much in need of help. We're now affixing a tag to each tee that describes the cause. You can give someone a tee in person or from afar and know that they'll feel even better wearing it.
Happy holidays, friends.
Sincerely,
Emily, Kamiu and Wyatt
