Rachel Beckwith:One Little Girl's Legacy of Giving

             One 9 year old girl had raised $220 dollars for charity:water in lieu of birthday presents and then a few weeks later she dies due to injuries from a car wreck. After her death, donations have been pouring in to a page she set up for charity:water, and the funds raised now are over 3/4ths of a million dollars!

                  I find it admirable, and others have as well, that Rachel would have rather given her birthday to charity than to own the latest toy or gadget. Although I didn't know her(or her family), Rachel's birthday wish has shown that she had great character. Now, several thousands of of people will have clean water. Rachel's story proves that 1 child or 1 person of any age can make a difference in this world. Rest in peace, Rachel and May God be with you and your family.
