Rohail Rizvi's fundraising page for Pakistan Flooding

You may have heard about the deadly floods in Pakistan that have affected 20 million people.

To put that into perspective, that's like having ALL of New York state flooded including New York City. It's affected more people than the Tsunami, the earthquake in Haiti and Kashmir, all combined.

I want to help because this is a critical time - not only for those in need, but also for us as a nation to show where we stand. I'm appalled by the lack of media attention the floods in Pakistan have received when compared to other natural disasters such as the earthquake in Haiti. We can still make a difference, however, even without the media and you can join me if you believe too that saving one life from one country matters just as much as a life from another.

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.

To help encourage donations, I will match 100% of donations made through this page, dollar-for-dollar.

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