The world Emma will inherit

Thankfully, our sweet little Emma really lacks for nothing. She is well fed, well-dressed and sheltered. Additionally, of course, she is loved! Unfortunately, in other places in the world, many, many children are struggling for survival due to the lack of basic necessities, particularly water that is safe to drink. We won't go on and on about how essential water is, because everyone knows that. But it definitely is something we all take for granted. And it's just hard to imagine what it would be like to not have it so easily accessible as we all do.

One of our dearest friends, Jill Murphy, is raising $16,000 to build a well in Africa to provide safe drinking water for children and families in need. Her campaign is so inspiring and unique. She is carrying a backpack full of water around, and when asked about it, she shares the story of families who hike for miles in Africa to safe drinking water. The weight of the burden she is carrying keeps her motivated and reminded of what those she's trying to help are going through, and we would love to share her story here in the hopes that some of our friends and family will also support her efforts. She is working together with an well-known, international ministry called World Vision.

Here is the link to her blog, please take a minute to read about her passion to make a difference, one well at a time, and then make a donation of any amount: http://Diggingwells.blogspot.com.

You can also find out more about this ministry at Worldvision's "Share of a Deep Well" website here. Please donate in Jill's name, so that she can keep track of who is helping her toward her goal of $16,000.

Please help make Emma's world one that offers at least safe, clean water to everyone. It is possible....just think, 100 people giving $50, and 100 people giving $100 would be $15000!!
