As Many of you know Baby George entered this world with very low odds, Being born at only 24 weeks 1 day, 1lb 13ozs. We were given a 16% chance of him surviving and a much lower 4% chance of surviving without any major medical issues.

We can only say it was through thoughts and prayers that we are so blessed to overcome those odds as well as the amazing care at Nationwide Childrens Hospital. Most Families are not as fortunate as we are. Something as small as clean water is not in grasp. It is crazy to think of the extensive support group of friends/ family/ doctors/ nurses/ co-workers etc. that George received compared to other children that are suffering around the world. Don't wait for someone else to help! we ask that you put your hands up with us to reach the goal of raising $6,000 to fully fund a Water Well. 100% of proceeds go to hydrating humanity a Faith Based Non - Profit organization.

Water Facts:
- One Water Well provides clean water to a School (average attendance of 750 children)
- Not only are the children affected but so are their families who also do not have access to clean water.
- Each School also partners with Hydrating Humanity to spread the word and love of Jesus Christ
- On Average 40-50 children (PER DAY!!!) do not attend school because of Water related diseases.
- Schools with Water Wells in place have shown 95%+ reduction in absences and much improved class results
- Every 20 Seconds a child dies from the water that they are drinking.
- In the Past 10 years drinking dirty water has killed more CHILDREN than all the people lost to armed conflict since WWII
- At any one time, it is estimated that half the world's hospital beds are occupied with patients suffering from waterborne diseases.
- On Average an African woman walks 4 HOURS a day to collect dirty water.
