I am again participating in my area Crop Walk - basically it raises money to help alleviate world hunger. If you would be so kind as to donate what ever amount you can I would be ever so grateful! You can donate here

By sponsoring me, you help reach out to children and families around the world with the gift of clean, fresh water and other empowering tools of hope.
Facts to Consider
FOOD: The world produces enough food each year to provide a healthy diet to everyone on the planet, but over 800 million people in the world go to bed hungry.
MONEY: $91.00 represents the average daily wage in the United States. Half the world’s population lives on
about $2.00 a day. One-sixth lives on less than a dollar a day.
HEALTH CARE: Every year more than 11 million children die of preventable illnesses – that’s over 30,000 a day
(or one every three seconds) whose lives could be saved with simple medicines or immunizations, if their families could afford them.
LITERACY: About 800 million people in the world can’t read. Most live in developing countries.
WATER: About one-sixth of the world’s people lack access to safe drinking water.
A little help makes a big difference, every
$25 – can provide blankets to a family of five displaced by violence or natural disaster
$45 – can provide 30 jerry cans to carry clean water for drinking and cooking
$150 – can buy a hundred chickens and two wire chicken coops, providing two families with a reliable source of eggs, protein, and income
$500 – can provide small start-up loans that enable women to jump-start a business, such as making school uniforms
Together, we can make a difference!
0% of monies donated to Crop Walk goes to administrative costs or advertising. 100% of donations are used for outreach and administrative costs come from other fundraising efforts of the Church World Service.
I am confident that there are a lot of people here who have big hearts and can donate a little bit.
The last two years members of WT were very generous and helped me exceed my fund raising goal, it would be great to beat last year's record!!
Thanks!!
