Starting in January of 2018 every client I worked with gave CLEAN WATER to ONE PERSON FOR LIFE through donations to Charity Water. It was 1 for 1, you worked with me, another human received clean water. In 2018 we reached 151, 161 in 2019, and in 2020 we shifted to a focus on pillars. These pillars are donated dollars focused on social justice, anti-racism, environmental justice, healthy communities, health & mental wellness, human rights, and animal cruelty awareness groups and organizations.
