Everyone deserves CLEAN Water!
My Life Is Crazy Too is a new series of reader submissions. This is your opportunity to share stories about life, love, and mommyhood to provide understanding, hope, and compassion in the unique situations each of us face every day. If you would like to submit a story to this series, email me. Today’s crazy guest is Julie Neal.
My best friend, Juju is an exceptional preschool teacher and famous for her cake baking skills, but what she is most recognized for is her passion for clean water! She has worked fervently for the past three years to bring clean water to the village of Chuko, where her adopted son’s birth family lives in rural Ethiopia. She asked all of us to join her today celebrating World Wide Water Day!! Here’s what you can do to dig deep … this is Julie’s story.
I (Julie) know that I take for granted that at any moment I can access water from many places in my home. We turn on the faucet, dishwasher, washing machine and expect water to be there. Over a million people in the world to not have water. They walk for miles to collect DIRTY water to meet all of their needs. Eighty percent of all illness are from water borne diseases. This is horrible that in this century, people are still having to live like this!!
The problem seems so big, but we can all make a difference. How??? Start with the village of Chuko in Ethiopia. A Glimmer of Hope is helping me bring clean water to the entire village of Chuko. Approximately 10,000 people will have their lives forever changed!!
Not only will they get hours back to their day, but they will have CLEAN water!!
We need your help to make a difference, it doesn’t have to be a huge amount, anything is a big help.
We are getting close to having this entire project funded!These are pictures of the people of Chuko walking for an hour each way to collect DIRTY WATER!
Help make this end for them!! Go to our family well page at www.aglimmerofhope.org/digdeep [Watch the video]

Thanks for being a part of World Wide Water Day!! Don’t forget to share this with your family and friends!!
