These images will be important again for magazines next June (for their December issues). Many magazines typically run a story about charitable contributions in their December issues.

I like the top image as a stand-alone. The secondary image is a supporting image, it probably gets to the point of the story faster, but the first image is more graphic and shows the overall problem: less donations this year due to location.

I liked both of these pictures. They convey the message simply and clearly. Thanks for sharing.
