Why Meaghan Collins is fundraising for clean water

Imagine a world without whiskey & wine.
Imagine a world without WATER.

Millions around the world don't have to imagine, in 2016 this is their ridiculous reality.

Most of us have no idea what it's like to be truly thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. That's enough dead children to fill each & every seat in Madison Square Garden every 13 days.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.

In fact, I believe it won't be within a few generations.

There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world. Now, for the first time in history, we can measure and monitor these solutions remotely and in real time.

I started this fundraising campaign to help my friends at Charity: Water build more of these solutions, and I'm excited to offer you the chance to help too!

Now more than any time in human history anything is possible. ANYTHING.

I refuse to grow old ignoring tragedies I can play a part in solving. I refuse to sit on the sidelines, comforted by good intentions that gather dust.

I refuse to participate in a paradigm that values one person's life more than another because of origin or appearance.

I want to live a life that reflects the love my parent's showed me. This implores me to give as freely as I've received.

It has been said that everything great is just as difficult to realize as it is rare to find. Maybe it's the whiskey talking but I prepared to spend my days searching- I sense a greatness among us.

There's this remarkable beauty that manifests when we give without expectation and I want to invite you to join alongside generations of Patrick's Pub friends to experience it together.

When we hit our fundraising goal we can celebrate at Patrick's: I've been looking for a reason to reopen :)

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 communities we've helped.

Thank you for using your voice, resources and influence to help make this campaign's success a reality.

I'm looking forward to reopening Patrick's and sharing hugs, handshakes and high-fives along with some adult beverages while we celebrating our collective impact!

xoxo,
P.J.
