goal
The world is a mess.
People are sick. Starving. Poor. Every day I read or hear about it in the news. There are so many people who need help. There are so many causes and so much to do.
I've had it pretty good in life. I don't want to sit by and just do nothing, so I picked one cause I think everyone can agree on. I'm working to give people something they absolutely cannot do without -- the most basic of health needs.
I want to give people clean drinking water.
More than a billion people don't have access to safe drinking water. I don't mean that their pipes don't work; I mean that they have to walk hours each day to collect dirty water from stagnant ponds and muddy rivers. And the crazy thing is that for so many of them, clean water runs in aquifers under their homes and villages. But they don't have the drilling equipment or the money to reach it.
Just $5,000 can build a clean water project to serve a community of 250 people. My goal is to raise just that, $5,000, towards a project in the next three months.
There's a lot of need in the world. I'm starting here. Will you join me?
So heres the deal, I had an original idea, however, due to an unforeseen turn of events, I will not be waiting tables as I just accepted a summer internship. However, that does not mean Waiting for Water is dead... so here's the plan:
There are exactly 31 days left for this fundraiser. My goal is still $5,000. BUT, if we do hit the goal, and I can't believe i'm saying this...
I will wait tables for one entire night... WEARING A TUTU. I will videotape the night, and post the video up online for you all to enjoy. So please, help me embarrass myself, and those in need get some clean water!
Here you go, buddy, good luck!
I think this is amazing
You go, girl!
