Donor Fatigue

[journalist3072]

I'm sitting here thinking about the awful tragedy in Indonesia today. The death toll is astounding.

And it got me to wondering: will donor fatigue be an issue?

With the tsunami that happened a couple of years ago, and of course Hurricane Katrina last year, I wonder if people are feeling donor fatigue.

My prayer is that survivors of today's quake will get all of the assitance they need, and quickly.

1. Yes, it will. I hear on the news of varied groups doing immediate help

Longer term, I don't know. Even I am having a hard time with this news today, wondering what, how, what.

2. Are you donor fatigued?

I also hope those affected get help asap.

3. No...

I wouldn't say I'm donor fatigued. I'm just really sad for the people.

I just finished donating some money to Save The Children a few minutes ago, to help them respond to the earthquake.

But I do feel helpless. It seems like donating money isn't enough. It's at times like this that I wish I could actually be on the ground there, helping.
