As of January 2009 we became a family of six as we brought home our 2 (deaf) Ethiopian sons! January 2010 our 3rd daughter was born and now we are a family of 7! What a blessing! Jillian is a freelance American Sign Language(ASL) Interpreter but primarily a stay-at-home mom. Ashley is a Combat Engineer for the Marine Corps. This is a little of our journey!

How do I make the 'dollar per pound' monthly donation?:

Why Charity Water? We as Americans are dying on our fat and people in places like Ethiopia are STARVING and dying of preventable diseases...I remember seeing a man with a twist leg, ribs sticking out of his skin begging, and the mom with the dry breasts and a lethargic child trying to nurse coming up to the van asking for food, and I was thinking of all the (emotional) weight I had on just my thigh alone. I wondered, no I KNEW, that if we were spending God's money on his people instead of our vices, people just like this would not be starving physically and we would not be starving emotionally. Clean water means healthier bodies, one of the very things we take for granted here in America. Clean, fresh food is the focus in Journey to Health: ALIVE and that is the focus for the donations- clean, fresh water to give people life!
