goal
This Christmas taught me a lesson. I want for nothing. I have never worried about where my next meal would come from because I had wonderful parents who were willing and able to take care of me. I have never once wondered where I would sleep at night. I don't worry about having clothes to wear, shoes on my feet or having hot water to take a shower. My wants are for excess only and this year for my birthday I want something different. I want to build a well. I want someone else to truly benefit from my excess. I know so many people and so many of you have such compassionate hearts I feel confident I can raise the money needed to build a well in a little over a month. I specifically chose this organization because it supports the region of southeast Asia and my husband is of Vietnamese decent. I am thrilled at the idea that this well could possibly be built there. So, if you are willing and able I am asking for your help in making my birthday wish come true! I know I am only one person and I cannot change the world by myself, but I do not want the idea that the problems of the world are too overwhelming for me not to try to change something. I thank you in advance for your thoughts, your prayers, your donations, your support, and for all your encouragement!

Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
