South Floridians came out to help their neighbors in need, neighbors living more than seven thousand miles away.
NBC Miami teamed up with Clear Channel, Mobile Mike and a host of other organizations to help collect donations at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens Wednesday for the victims of the devastating Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.
“What you see there I can’t comprehend”, said Mobile Mike. ” When I saw the images on television, I didn’t look at those people like they were in Japan, I looked at those people like they were in Little Havana, Hialeah, Boca and they needed our help.”
