Isn't it amazing?

I can't help feeling that it's a special :hug: for our wonderful Japanese Zoners and their friends :japan: who have so clearly touched Johnny's heart. It's so like him to see their trouble and want to make it better, somehow.

Image I'm just all choked up after reading that awe inspiring letter from Mercy Corps and all I can say is Image What an achievement and just goes to show what people power can do. I got such a warm feeling when Johnny sent us a letter but most of all I'm just so happy that so many Japanese people will benefit from this. So much still to do after the disaster but this will definitely go a long way to helping so many. I can certainly understand the buzz at Mercy Corps after receiving Johnny's donation.

Once again I offer thanks to Part-time Poet and Theresa for making this possible. :heart2:

It's my great pleasure to inform you that Johnny Depp has made a generous donation to Japan "in honor of the efforts of The Johnny Depp Zone." Thank you so much for helping connect Johnny with Mercy Corps! The office is abuzz with the news, and we've been so excited to let you and the group know. This is an amazing development!
I hesitated to comment in this thread previously because I didn't feel I really had the right to since I didn't donate, but now here I am again; I can't resist.
It's so amazing and fantastic and magnanimous and precious of Johnny to do that...to acknowledge the Zone in their efforts and indirectly 'reward' them in that way, which also shows his obvious approval of this site. :cloud9:

I truly admire all of you here who engineered the fundraiser and donated to it. I'm beyond honored to be a member here amongst all the warm-hearted, generous, benevolent, caring Depp-fans! :worldhug: :heart2:

I am so pleased to have been a part of this.
It is wonderful to think that not only is Johnny aware of the birthday project, he took the time out of his busy life to write a thank you and make an additional donation.
Thank you to everyone who organised the birthday project for Japan and donated. So much good will flow from this.

It feels like we're all standing in this enormous room, a big circle of us all holding hands: the Zoners, Mr. Depp, Mercy Corps and the people we're reaching with our donations. Who know how our monies will touch some person, some child. We are all connected. Can't ask for more from life. :angel:
I so agree with you fireflydances. I feel so connected with all of the Zoners and Mr. Depp....like we are all good friends. My very special thanks to all of you and of course to Johnny. :bouquet:

Wow! Just wow. Somehow I missed this thread in July; I’m so thankful RonMexico gave it a bump and I spotted it. Following the tears welling up, only one word comes to mind: Honored. I am so honored to be a part of this wonderful community. I am so honored that Johnny has honored us in this way. Seems it’s all come full circle, eh? And none of it is possible without the tireless work of our moderators. So thank you all once again. Wow, just wow.

All I can say is...WOW!

I wasn't a member of The DeppZone then, but I will be next year when donation time comes around, and I'm going to earmark a bit for that purpose!

You folks rock!
