Why Madlin Raquel is fundraising for clean water

22 Reasons: for the Giving Seasons

Want my gifts to be a gift for others instead! Women and children around the world walk hours every day to collect water for their families. The worst part is the water they collect can make them really sick. We can actually do something about it. Just $20 can give a person clean water to drink.
As I count down the last 22 days and will state a reason of the importance of giving each day, I ask you to please donate just $22 dollars and help make a difference in the world by giving someone access to clean drinking water. It's that easy!
The best part is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water projects in Rwanda.
A huge thank you in advance for your participation!! :-)

Below I will state a reason every day of the importance of giving.

8/22- Reason 1: Give because everything you have was gracefully provided by God to you. Give because you have been given.
8/23- Reason 2: The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
8/24- Reason 3: Giving to others can restore and revive people's hope & dreams more than you can imagine.
8/25- Reason 4: Phillipians 2:3-4- "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."
8/26- Reason 5: Give so children there can actually stop spending hours collecting water and start attending hours in school.
8/27- Reason 6: Giving is a way of showing love. "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" (Mark 12:31)
8/28- Reason 7: God is a God of life and restoration. He lifts people's head and gracefully helps them and builds them back up. We should to strive to be like Jesus, therefore we can start by giving our time and love to others.
8/29 Reason 8: By giving to those in need, you revive people's hope! To help restore and rebuild in an area of someone else's life is the biggest help you can offer!
8/30 Reason 9: "To reach your dreams, go help someone else reach theirs... Success is hidden in your giving." Generosity is the key to success. (Credit Will Coles)
8/31 Reason 10: Matthew 10:8- "Freely you have received; freely give."
9/1 Reason 11: Giving is key. A heart of a servant is the greatest and most humbling heart. Serving & giving is a privilege.
9/2 Reason 12: Proverbs 11:25- "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
9/3 Reason 13: "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."- Winston Churchill
9/4 Reason 14: Nearly 800 million people on Earth still live without access to clean water. I want to be part of changing that. Giving is a simple way how to help.
9/5 Reason 15: More people die from lack of clean water and sanitation each year than are killed by all forms of violence, including war. Change that by giving.
9/6 Reason 16: Giving is a way to show love. Let's bring a smile on someone else's face by showing them so love.
9/7 Reason 17: "Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." -Lao Tzu
9/8 Reason 18: Sometimes a small thing you do can mean everything in another person's life. Never get tired of doing little things for others, because sometimes those little things occupy the biggest parts of their hearts.
9/9 Reason 19: Matthew 19:19- "Love your neighbor as yourself." All the time we buy things for ourselves that we do not necessarily need. Let's instead provide clean water to Rwanda because it's a desperate need!
9/10 Reason 20: “The degree of loving is measured by the degree of giving.” ― Edwin Louis Cole
9/11 Reason 21: "No matter how bad you think your life, wake up each day and be thankful for what you have. Someone somewhere is fighting just to survive."
9/12 Reason 22: Give...simply because you can.
