First Gift...LIFE


Every day, 4500 mothers bury their children due to contaminated water. They are forced to sustain the lives of their families with a diabolical liquid that contains both life and death. This lack of access to clean water is the leading cause of death in underdeveloped nations. And it doesn't have to be.

So as we gear up to scurry through the department stores and browse endless catalogs in search for new jeans, Tonka Trucks, gadgets and dolls...we are pausing. We are pausing. And today, November 13th, we are buying water. Clean, life-saving water.

$10 will provide one person in Africa with clean water for 10 years. It will literally change, and possibly save someone's life. A mother. A child. A brother. A grandfather.

We are rallying together for a cause. For clean water. One day. $10. Asking everyone to let this be their first gift. Let water, let life be your first gift of the season.

My Dad just got home from Africa a few days ago and got to witness first hand the difference that clean water makes. Here are a few of the images...

Imagine if your child was dying and all it took was for someone to sacrifice a couple cups of coffee or a meal out to McDonalds to save your child's life...that's it. What if that person decided that their coffee or McDonalds was more important than your child's life? What would it mean for you to sacrifice $10? It would mean saving someone's child's life. It is important. It is a life. Someone's baby, someone's brother or sister, someone's mother.
GIVE LIFE!
