You intentions might be nobel, but for me there are two issues here:
First off, steem is not a fund-raising platform, votes are to curate posts and the reward is to incentivize the creation of quality content. I see asking people to upvotes for anything despite the content as abusing of the system and therefor think flagging can be justified and it doesn't mean that the user flagging your post is against supporting pour people.
Why not ask people to send you steem, SDB or Bitcoin instead of trying abuse the voting system? (Btw. Votes do cost you limited voting power and are not completely free in that sens)
The other thing is, IMO you shouldn't expect people to just trust you based on a story and a few photos on the internet and then get mad if they don't.

I do not understand all the talk regarding "Quality Content". Steemit states they would like to become a Social Media Platform with many users. Neither FB or Twitter has ever encouraged Quality Content, excellent writing, etc. What they promote is lots of content, community building, user friendliness, etc.
I find all of the focus on quality content confusing. Want to be big? Make it interesting (which isn't always the same as Quality) Make it easy, make it friendly, and allow people to receive feedback. (such as likes or votes more often) Nobody wants to write into a quiet abiss, hoping for a whale. I know people want to make money, but at the expense of not gainning new users it seems to limit the potential of this unbelievably awesome idea.
