Why Heather Connell is fundraising for clean water

Every day, 2,200 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. Let's help change that!

Thanksgiving is a time for people to give thanks for a good harvest and other fortunes in the past year. Canadians were born blessed and most of us take for granted basic essentials. Like turning on the tap and clean water coming out.

$1904 for a goal, that's an odd number you might say. I'll break it down: $2 (coffee) a day for 7 days = $14 x the 136 "friends I have on facebook = $1904. Give up your coffee for one week and you can afford it.

Come October 13th, as we sit around a table with our families, friends and a large turkey with all the fixings, I would like all of us to be able to say we are grateful for being blessed enough to help our neighbours around the world.

I want to give people life.

800 million people are living without clean drinking water on our planet. My mission is to give clean water for Thanksgiving this year. 100% of every dollar I raise will go directly to water projects. And when the projects are complete, charity: water will show us GPS coordinates, photos and other details about the communities we've helped. Please join me by donating.
