About Charity Water:

Many people around the world don’t have the luxury of clean water. 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 honor of PFC Michael Anthony Carter Jr., 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 celebrate the life of Mike Mike -- 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.

About PFC Michael Anthony Carter Jr.

The youngest of 6 children, PFC Michael Anthony Carter was born on July 25, 1999. He was known to be honest, caring, loving, humble and hardworking. His passions included sports and social media. Hosting a comedy IG page with his friend that amassed over 100k followers. With a mind for service, Mike decided to join the United States Marine Corps at age 17. He left for basic training at Parris Island, SC almost immediately after graduation from high school. He even spent his 18th birthday in training.

After graduation on October 13, 2017, Mike was awarded certificates of appreciation for his volunteer work with the United States Military Outreach Judo & Jiu-Jitsu Organization and earned his first stripe in less than 4 months.

While waiting for a spot to open in the Marine's coveted logistics class, Mike was volunteering as a Recruiter's Assistant when he was called home on February 7, 2018. While we miss him dearly, we're thankful for the life he lived and celebrate his memory.

Our beloved "Mike-Mike."
