The holidays - a time for family, comfort and love.

Joy to the world, right?

I was originally inspired by this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVqqj1v-ZBU Normally, I would just watch it and think to myself, "Wow. That's so true." Then I'd go back to watching re-runs of Are You Afraid of the Dark with the lights out, pretending that nothing TRULY scary is going on somewhere else in the world.

More than a billion people are living without water on our planet. Some walk miles every day to get to the nearest source: a stagnant, parasite-infested stream or pond. They lug it back to their families. They suffer from diarrhea, worms and skin diseases because they can't wash themselves. 45,000 people die each day from waterborne illnesses.

100% of every penny I raise will go directly to the water projects. And every project is "proved" using GPS technology and photos and put on Google Earth. Together, we'll be able to see the impact we've made.

Please join me by donating. I understand times are tight, but I beg you to reconsider that Monday morning latte or that...other non-coffee related item that you purchase each week/day, and throw some of it where it really counts. Even $1 will give 1 person clean water for AN ENTIRE YEAR.

Thank you and much love,

Jaime
