You may have heard about the deadly floods in Pakistan that have affected 20 million people.
Mercy Corps has staff on the ground working to provide clean water to tens of thousands of people, and staple foods and clean-up tools to hundreds of affected families. They're also running mobile health clinics and delivering hygiene kits with soap, towels and other essentials.
Please help me raise money to help Mercy Corps aid families affected by the flooding. Thank you!

To celebrate the end of Ramadan (and the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, for my Jewish friends), please think of donating a little bit to people who have lost everything over the past few weeks. MercyCorps is one of the most efficient charities in operation (www.mercycorps.org), and 100% of every dollar will go for relief to flood victims- 100%! Don't feel like you have to donate $100, $50, or even $10 if you can't spare it- donate a dollar or two, it doesn't matter. It will be put to use saving peoples' lives and homes.
"Righteousness is not turning your faces towards the east or the west. Righteous are those who believe in GOD, the Last Day, the angels, the scripture, and the prophets; and they give the money, cheerfully, to the relatives, the orphans, the needy, the traveling alien, the beggars, and to free the slaves; and they observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat); and they keep their word whenever they make a promise; and they steadfastly persevere in the face of persecution, hardship, and war. These are the truthful; these are the righteous." Qur'an 2:177
Thank You.
