If there’s one thing I believe deeply, truly and with every cell in my body, it’s that we are all connected in this world.

So today, I’m joining a team of bloggers from The Mission List, of which I’m a proud member, and Water.org in taking up a 10 day challenge to change 10 lives forever and I want you to join me.

What are we going to do? We’re going to bring safe drinking water and access to proper sanitation to 10 people. We’re going to change ten people’s lives forever by just giving them access to something we often take for granted: clean, safe water.

Facts: Every 21 seconds, a child dies from diarrhea. That’s 41,000 deaths a day. Diarrhea kills more children than malaria, AIDS, and measles combined.

You and me? We can stop this.

I’m not going to beat around the bush here. We need money to do this. So for the next 10 days, I need your help to spread the word about the water crisis and how $25 can save the life of a child.

Are you ready to change a life forever?
