What affects other countries, affects us. Each country is connected through the global economy. Japan's economy is going to take a hit from this natural disaster, and it will affect all of Japan's trading partners. That includes the USA, Canada, the UK, and so on and so forth.
I can distance myself from situations too. Especially when I was unemployed had no money to give. But that's where fandom run charities stepped up to the plate, holding auctions for donations. I can draw. I can write. So if I offer something for 10 bucks, somebody out there will bid on it.
And they have. The only offer I made that never received a bit was for help_brazil, and that could have been my fault - I might have posted the offer after auctions had all ended. =/
