Imagine what it’s like to walk down to the river that’s a few miles from your house.
With a 20 gallon bucket, you let the water slowly spill in, filling it to the top. Lifting the bucket over your shoulder, you carry it back home.
This is your water supply for the next day. You’ll use it to cook and clean and bathe and drink.
You know it may make you sick — it has before, and every time you have a sip is like rolling the dice.
But you also know you need water.
Your baby needs water. He’s getting dehydrated because he has diarrhea. You question yourself.
“Is it making it better…or worse?” as you look over at him. He lays quietly on a blanket inside your home. You can see the goose flesh run up and down his warm skin. He has a fever again.

Yesterday, we raised over $5800 for clean water.
$1 provides 1 African clean water for a year. So, if you used that statistic, we’ve provided clean water for over 5800 Africans for a year.
Next year, on my 31st birthday, we’ll do the same, to ensure this necessity doesn’t go away.
5800 people with clean water.
Some, maybe for the first time.
Lifesaving, life giving, clean water.
Water without hesitation — without risk.

Thank you guys for your sacrifice. It’s never too late to give.
