In 2024 and 2025, I successfully raised a combined $25,000 - enough to fully fund two wells and partially fund another. And at the end of each year, the realization of reaching my $10,000 goal has been surreal and truly overwhelming. I am humbled that God would give me enough compassion and enough courage to say yes to such a big undertaking these past two years. And I am so grateful that He put other caring individuals in my life to help me and allow me to have success beyond what I felt capable of.

While the successful completion of these campaigns has given me so much joy and satisfaction in helping others, the reality of the global water crisis is a harsh one... because even though two communities now have access to clean water, another community is waiting... waiting for someone to care enough to say yes again, waiting for the day when they no longer have to walk for miles carrying heavy jugs of dirty water, waiting for the day when they and their loved ones finally know what it’s like to feel healthy.

You and I are so blessed to live a privileged life in the USA – we have ready access to clean water, health in our bodies, the freedom to pursue education and so much more. And the weight of these blessings and seeing what God has done over the past two years is what motivates me to say “yes” again in 2026.

If you too feel the weight of these blessings and are compelled to express gratitude for the abundant gifts God has blessed you with, please join me in saying “yes.” Donate $40 to give someone else these same gifts. It only takes $40 to give 1 person clean water, health, education, or time to work to make a better living.

Thank you for being here to donate or simply check on my progress. Please pray for me and for this work.

To God be the glory.

P.S. The photo shown is me filling my jerry can on day 9 of my month-long "Walk for Water" in August 2024. Each day of that month, I walked 4 miles to the nearest river, stopping halfway to fill up my can with water and walking 2 miles back carrying nearly 50 lbs of water. For the millions on earth without clean water, a 4-mile trip is the average global distance that women and girls walk every single day to fetch dirty water for their families.
