Too sad for words.
From Asahi Shimbun...
Quake evacuees give sympathetic looks to a boy who has become a familiar face at evacuation centers in this city ravaged by last Friday's quake and tsunami. But sadly, they cannot offer any information about the names on the handwritten signs he holds up at each center.
The names are of the father, mother, grandmother and two cousins of 9-year-old Toshihito Aisawa. The last time he saw his family members, they were trying to escape from a car being swept away by the massive wall of water.
According to the third-year elementary school student, his father, Kazuyuki, picked him up at his school soon after the magnitude-9.0 earthquake hit. Packed in a minicar, Toshihito, Kazuyuki, grandmother Kyoko, mother Noriko, and two cousins, Yuto and Yuna Shima, headed for [a school] located on a hill in central Ishinomaki.
As they sped down a trunk road along the port that would take them to the hill, his mother noticed the tsunami bearing down on them...
If your searching for a non-profit to contribute to for the relief effort, consider ShelterBox.
