Help Fund a Water Project
In 2010 my family lost a man who was larger than life. My husband BJay drowned while saving our boys from a strong current at the beach. There are so many things that my children didn't get to learn from him. But one thing that I want them to know is the power of service, and the importance of making our lives about loving and serving where we can.
The water project is a perfect way for our family to start making a difference. There are so many things we take for granted I'm not even sure how to start counting. Water is necessary for life and so many people in the world don't have access to clean water to drink. Please join us in doing something to change that.Did you know nearly 1 billion people don't have safe water to drink?
Together, we can change that. Let's fund a new source of drinking water for those who suffer needlessly without it!
Our gifts will be used to construct or rehabilitate a water project, like a well or sand dam, in Africa. We'll see pictures, GPS coordinates, and updates as they come in from the actual water project we fund so we can celebrate the results along with the community we help.
