Why Totesforwater is fundraising for clean water

For many years I have been a passionate supporter of charity: water. I have sewn close to 400 tote bags out of up-cycled coffee bags to raise money for clean water. Now I want to do more.

My goal this birthday is to raise $40,000 for clean water.

For 2 years I have dreamed and prayed over this goal. I don't want little girls walking to collect dirty water any more. Like my kids I want them to have the opportunity to go to school. I want mothers to have time to care for their families and make a better life for themselves.

We may not be able to change the world, but we CAN change someone's world!

Be a part of something bigger than yourselves. Be a part of my big dream!

XO,
Jen

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.

    I have waited so impatiently to receive the updates to my 40 for 40 campaign. What an epic journey that was! I assume you have also received the email update letting you know where your money went. So once again, thanks for making my 40 for 40 so amazing. Next step...go visit our wells. Remember friends, if your dreams don't scare you, they aren't big enough. Thanks to my God for not only showing up for me, but showing off. Love to you all, Jen

    I miss you all friends! Just pondering today how absolutely amazing it was that you showed up for me and gave big for my big birthday! I hope today you can step out of your comfort zone a bit and grow. We are going to Nepal in a few days-not sure of the plan-just stepping out in faith to see where God leads. I would love to hear how you are challenging yourself today. Remember there is no growth in comfort.
