Why Lachlan Schieb Philanthropic Memorial Fund is fundraising for clean water

“Giving is not just about making a donation. It is about making a difference.” Kathy Calvin

In Loving Memory of Lachlan Hugh Schieb 12/18/18- 2/27/20

It is with an unfathomable sadness that we tell you of the sudden passing of our beautiful boy Lachlan Hugh Schieb. We are all devastated by his passing, and our worlds are forever changed.

Lachlan was such a happy child and melted the hearts of everyone that he and his brother Oscar met. They were double trouble in the best way. Being an identical twin, we cannot comprehend what Oscar has also lost.

Lachlan was our little hero, and he became a hero to another family by giving their child the gift of life with his heart valves. The kindest gift he could have given another family with his passing. We have been updated and told his organs are continuing to save the lives of others.

Though Lachlan is gone, he will never be forgotten, and in Lachlan's name, we hope you can join us by helping others. Instead of flowers and other gifts, we hope that you can help others by donating and helping to save the lives of others.

Your donation will go into sponsoring a specific project or projects that we will nominate at the closure of this campaign.

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.

If you can, please donate to the Lachlan Hugh Schieb Philanthropic Memorial Fund -- anything you can give will help make the world a better place in Lachlan's name.

If your workplace offers a matching donation, please let us know in the comments section.

You can't put your arms around a memory, but you can grasp it with your mind, clutch it with your soul and keep it sacred in your heart forever. Unknown

"Love is not patronizing, and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead."

    CHARLIE SCHIEB VIDEO UPDATE: https://youtu.be/U79YQ7a81d4

    We found a project that would have the most impact. Your donations will be going to fund a water project at a school in Ethiopia. Your donations will provide over 300 children clean water at their school. This will give these kids a much better opportunity to learn and become educated.

    We will also be looking at other opportunities to donate school materials, food, and clothes in the future, and help as many children as possible.

    The project will take between 12-18 months to complete, and we will be giving you and your family updates as construction progress. This will include written updates, photos, and videos. We look forward to celebrating its opening with you.

    Thank you again for keeping Lachlan's memory alive and helping other kids in the world. We are glad you are coming on this journey with us.
