It's Awesome!

Guess what? We have reached $4,000! Woohoo! Two of my friends really helped me out. My friend Jake took cans and bottles to the recycling center and got $15 for the well. My friend Mrs. Arika told her Bible Study about the well and then brought a bucket and all of the ladies put money in the bucket. They even put their coins in there and then I counted them. They gave $159.97! I am so happy and thankful that my friends helped me. God is answering my prayers.

We are getting closer and closer, but we still need people to donate money to the well. Please think about giving to the well if you haven't yet so that people can get clean water. We can do it!

Halfway There Again

I can't believe it, but we've already raised $1,311 towards the new goal! I'm so glad that people are giving more and more money. You guys are so great! The town that gets the well is going to be so happy.

Thank you to Ms. Gee, Mr. Sanders, Stacy and Bryan, Stacey and Peter, Keely and Brian, and my parents!

I am doing a service project tomorrow and I will write about it.

We did it!

Guess what? I have reached my gooooooaaaaaaaalllllllll! Thank you so, so much! We now have $2,716 raised for the well (plus another $500 that doesn't count towards my goal). I feel so happy. And guess what we did to celebrate- we went to Yogurtland. When I got to my goal I started screaming and ran around the room.

Thank you Tori, Mrs. Clayton, Lauren, Molly, Brendan and Kate, Sarah, and the Cazale family.

Here's my well drawing all filled up:
I want to keep raising money for the well. So, I'm going to start my well drawing all over and see if we can reach $2,500 again. Guess what? We already have $716! I'm so excited.

Progress Update

So far we have raised $1886! It's amazing that a bunch of people have helped me and we're almost there. Thank you to Daniel, Lindsay, Campbell, and Graham. They didn't eat out for a month and gave that money to the well. That's really cool, huh? Thank you to Mr. Share, Ms. Burick, Scottie and Bob, Mr. Philip, the Lackeys, the Purifoys, the O'Neills, and Jennifer. Jennifer went to the fair and won for the best jelly and gave the money to the well. She sold notebooks to her students for the well too.

I'm feeling super duper, duper, duper, duper, duper happy, but we still have some money to raise. I think that we can raise all of the money soon though and then we will have a well and lots of people will have clean water!

Lake Hills Church Rocks!

At the church we went to this summer they decided to raise money for the well. In August, I told all of the kids about my well project. Then the kids gave money to the well. One of my friends, Tara, went around her neighborhood and asked for donations. Other friends got donations to come and pick green beans with me. On Sunday, I went to big church and talked to the adults. The church raised $445! That's a lot of money. Thank you to everyone and especially to Ms. Debbie for all of her hard work.

My Vacation

On my vacation, I raised $443. That means that I have raised $1000! Thank you to the Jones, Boltons, Haynies, Hughes, Allison and Jeff, Nana and Grandpa, Gigi and Pamp, and Aunt Hannah! I cut wood and rolled up coins at Nana and Grandpa's house to earn their money.
My great-great Aunt Cynthia's organ club also gave money to the well. Thank you West-Fair Organ Club!

I am very thankful- thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys are all such a big help and I am almost halfway there- all because of you!

Progress Update

While I was in North Carolina my friend Emily gave me $20. Lara and Austin, Gramma and Big Dad, my great-great aunt Cynthia, and Mr. Hackney also gave money to the well. Thank you for all your help. I appreciate it. We have now raised $560. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!

The people are going to be very pleased to have water- thanks to you.

Tomorrow I am going to do my very special service project. I can’t wait to tell you about it!

Raising Money

I have raised $250!!! Thank you so much for helping already. Thank you Ryon and Sarah, Jennifer, Nancy, Rachel, and Aunt Bekah and Uncle ClayDawg. That's cool that people I haven't even met gave money. My mom says that she went to high school with some of you and that Jennifer called my daddy 12 because he looks young.

Today I shared my 5,000 lines with my class at church. Next week I am going to share with middle school and high school. I feel very scared to share with older kids.

I lost my 7th tooth yesterday and I am 7 years old! The tooth fairy gave me $1. I am going to give it to the well. My brothers are going to do chores around the house to get money. They are going to give their money to the well.

I drew a picture so that I know how much money I have raised so far. Here it is:
Thank you so much for helping with the well.
