As folks get back to work: This MSF/Yemen campaign started with my $15,000 pledge; ended with almost $230,000.

I will write thank you emails as best I can, but the MSF donation page and tools are .. a bit lacking. 802 donations. Can't download.
Donation pages of life-saving NGOs are .. so crummy. Maybe tech people who want to do good can help fix that? Big need, area of expertise.
Update: Just talked to MSF. They said: ~"Thrilled to be back at work to see campaign that raised $230,000. Money to be earmarked for Yemen."
We are working to add the matches (another $102,000 off the page!) explicitly to the campaign page: http://events.doctorswithoutborders.org/campaign/zeynep
Apparently, MSF hadn't seen a campaign exactly like this—social media, size, scope. (I had no idea either—hah. Literally stumbled into it).
They will also work to get me a database of all the messages (802 donors!) so I can write thank you emails and see the messages. 
I told MSF—*much* to their surprise—that I sent no personal emails or held offline event. Twitter isn't only horror & Nazis. We're here too.

Yes; I am writing up our collective experience for them; to see if they can scale this up and provide tools.https://twitter.com/turifertwits/status/816680704784433152 …

Update. MSF verified all almost the matching donations; now showing that our campaign raised $225K. I'm missing 4K somewhere in my emails!
