On August 30th of last year, I was in a serious car accident that would leave me home bound for four and a half months with multiple broken limbs.

Thankfully, I made a full recovery ,and I learned some pretty important lessons along the way! I am sharing these lessons at www.striveandbe.com during the month of September, if you are interested.

In commemoration of the event / celebration of a full recovery - I am trying to raise $3000 to provide clean, safe water in Rwanda. The people there have lived through a genocide that makes my personal struggle seem insignificant at best. They are now recovering and working to rebuild their country, and I would love nothing more than to help them out along the way. I believe that some of the greatest strengths can come out of the greatest tragedies. I know this is true in my life, and I am sure this can be the case with the people of Rwanda too.

Please join my campaign and help support the cause! Also, please share the story - I cannot do this alone.

$65 is enough to provide clean water for one person for life. Yeah, crazy, right? Feel free to donate whatever you feel is right for you - $10, $20, or whatever. It will be greatly appreciated! It is amazing how fast the money adds up if each person gives a little. Also, you have the option to donate anonymously if you desire.

Thanks so much!
