9/25 Tuesday Pick: Rachel's Wish, Water is Life

Dana's Pick:  Rachel's Wish, Water is Life  

Why I recommend it:  Very moving video.  I must forewarn that this video is so touching it brings about tears.  Rachel was a nine-year-old who had a small wish to raise  money to bring 15 less fortunate individuals clean water.  Slightly short of her fundraising goal, Rachel told her mother that they will do better next year.   Tragically Rachel died the following month in a car accident.  Determined to have Rachel's wish live on, over $1.2 million was raised bringing 60,000 individuals water to Ethiopia.  Watch her mother visit Rachel's water wells in her memory, truly amazing.
