Smartphone quote of the day: I just texted my donation to Haiti

So easy, even our Secretary of State can do it!

“I just texted a contribution myself, because we know from our own experience, particularly in Haiti, small donations can add up to make a big difference,” Secretary Clinton said earlier this week. “Americans have always shown great generosity to people facing crises worldwide. So I urge Americans to join this effort and send some much needed help to the people of Pakistan.”

The Secretary was talking about the recent floods in Pakistan, from which 1,400 people have died and more than three million people have been affected, according to the United Nations. In response, the mGive Foundation (the charitable partner of Mobile Accord, which serves hundreds of U.S. philanthropic organizations and has raised more than 95 percent of all funds gathered via mobile giving) and several of mGive’s disaster relief partners has launched text donation campaigns that will aid victims by distributing tents, relief supplies, and humanitarian assistance.
