In response to "Very interesting anecdote regarding the response to the Pakistani Floods vs the Haitian Earthquake..." by Mel Profit

Floods garner much less attention in terms of charitable funding than other disasters. It also had the misfortune, if you will, of being after the

Haiti earthquake so 'donor fatigue' plays into it.

Geopolitical factors are probably playing a role as well.

My wife and I made our donation through Worldvision a few weeks ago and I placed a request for my company to match it this week.

There is massive desperation and need.
