I believe that people get more-of whatever they focus on and I'm sure the effort to raise this money has generated some income. 

Perhaps, instead of chastising the Steem community, trying to make us feel guilty and telling us how horrible we are and how broken-hearted you are - you should focus on those who DID help you. 

With all the scams running around the internet I am almost certain that most people are very leery about things like this and the truth of the matter is.... I'm just now reading this.

Because you didn't reach the goal you obviously had in-mind DOES NOT MEAN people don't care.... it simply means they are forced to pick and choose where their hearts, time and money should be directed-to and focused on.
