goal
My son, Benjamin Parker, left a legacy of helping those not necessarily in a position to help themselves. For his 21st birthday, I decided to partner with charity:water to raise money in his honor to fund water projects in developing countries to help carry on his legacy.
Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
I started this fundraising campaign in memory of Ben to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.
Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.
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.
Also, many of you know that I paint rocks in memory of Ben. As a thank you for your donation of $21 or more I would like to offer you one of the 100 rocks I have painted especially for this campaign. Once you have made your donation, please PM me if you would like me to send you a rock (US only please).
Thank you for helping Ben's legacy live on by helping us make a difference in the world!!!
Many thanks to each of you for your support for our campaign, Water4Ben. Because of your generous donations, we not only achieved our original goal of $10,000, but more than doubled it for a final total of $21,000!
The purpose of this campaign, which was launched on Ben’s 21st birthday, was to allow his legacy of helping others to live on. Our hearts are overflowing knowing that with the money raised, 700 people will soon get access to clean water & their lives will be changed forever.
A simple “thank you” is not enough, but there are really no words to express our gratitude to you for making this possible.
God Bless~
Susan & Brian
