Toyota has pledged to send aid to those affected by a massive earthquake in Nepal.

The Japanese automaker has pledged 10 million yen ($83,959 USD) to Japan Platform, an international emergency humanitarian aid organization that is helping to clean up the devastation in Nepal.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake shook Nepal on April 25, affecting the capital city of Kathmandu and surrounding villages. The confirmed death toll currently sits at 4,000, but that is likely short of final number.
