Water and the Legacy of Rachel Beckwith

In a recent post, Deacon Greg Kandra shared the story of Rachel Beckwith, who, instead of presents for her ninth birthday, asked friends and family to donate $9 so that children her age in Africa would have clean water to drink.

She fell short of her $300.00 goal, and, tragically, was killed in an automobile accident a month after her birthday.

However, there is more to the story:
