Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.
Anything you can give is a huge help, and it is also fine with me if you do not donate, as I know we all help this world be a better place in our own way. Thanks for all you do already!
As my initial goal of $500 was reached within a couple of hours on day 1, I have raised it to $1000. Ever the optimist :-) A whole month to go, it will be great if I can raise it again, but I am already delighted with the contributions given so far. Thanks SO MUCH!!!
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
Thank you for the opportunity dear Esther! Bless you.
May we all be blessed with pure, clean, healthy water !
My initial goal of $500 was reached incredibly fast; within a few hours on day 1 !!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! I have decided to increase the goal to $1000, as I am ever the optimist, and who knows, maybe I'll get to raise it again. :-)
I also updated the mission statement a bit, just added a few thoughts about this fundraising thing. I want you to know I'm delighted that more people will have access to clean water soon. AWESOME! Thanks again. Big HUGS!
Turns out my employer has a matching program. I never knew.
Happy 50th. We love you!!
