Help the Pakistan Flood Victims

The people of Pakistan are in our thoughts and prayers, and the Harris County Democratic Party encourages everyone to please donate to relief efforts as that nation recovers from its most devastating flooding in 80 years.

Four weeks of monsoon rain has destroyed villages, crops, bridges and roads, killed at least 1600 people, and left more than 4 million homeless. At least 20 million people – 1 in 5 Pakistanis – have been affected by the floods, including 3.5 million children who may be at risk from water-borne diseases.

We are not unfamiliar here in Southeast Texas and the Gulf coast, with the ravaging effects of flood waters, so please keep the people of Pakistan in your thoughts and please support aid to that nation: Pakistan Relief Fund.
