川越市に、重度障がい者のための生活介護施設「ゆかりの木」を

 

The Kerria Project is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2018 by families and friends of severely disabled children in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture in Japan. The current goal of this project is to create "Yukari no Ki", a day service facility for disabled people, that will open in Kawagoe in 2020.

 

In order to raise funds for Yukari no Ki, we have started crowdfunding with Readyfor on October 30, 2019. Our goal is to raise ¥2,000,000 by December 20, 2019.

 

If you can’t write Japanese but wish to offer us your support, I hope this guide will help you. If you have any questions or difficulties filling in the form, please feel free to contact Shizuko Yamagishi at kerriaproject2018@gmail.com.

 

First of all, please have your bank account information ready if you are donating directly to the Readyfor account without using a credit card. Readyfor will refund your donation if the amount raised does not reach our target amount, so they need your bank account in order to send the refund to you in that case. Probably the best way to do this to have the bank’s home page on screen so that you can copy and paste necessary information such as the name of the bank or the branch office.

 

* Note that your credit card and bank information will be on secure forms and your name and address will not be given to anyone other than Shizuko Yamagishi and the Readyfor staff in charge of our fundraising campaign.

 

Readyfor also asks you your mailing address. If you can’t type in Japanese, you might as well have your address typed for you in Japanese and have it ready for copy and paste.
