kmcdade's fundraising page for Pakistan Flooding

You may have heard about the deadly floods in Pakistan that have affected nearly 14 million people

According to CNN, aid for Pakistan is only trickling in right now, even though the number of people affected is twice the number affected by the Haiti earthquake (http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/asiapcf/08/17/pakistan.floods.aid/).

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.

Many of these families were already struggling to meet their basic needs. Mercy Corps has been helping families in Pakistan's flood-affected Swat Valley reestablish themselves after they fled last year's fighting between militants and government forces. Many of the 3 million people displaced by that conflict had returned, but are now fighting to survive this latest disaster.

Please help me raise money to help Mercy Corps aid families affected by the flooding. Thank you!
