For such a small amount we can make a tremendous difference. I immediately donated upon reading about it. Thank you! I just wanted to thank you for bringing Living Water to my attention.

I saw a previous post you made about this. It seems like a wonderful organization that helps a lot of poverty stricken countries, as well as sharing the gospel. They have a gift card program http://www.water.cc/give/gift-card-center/ Which I decided I will combine with some gifts to my parents, as I know they will appreciate this. Thanks for sharing. Kristin,

You've inspired me. Haven't picked my charity yet, but the remainder of my $200/month grocery budget will be going to help others. Thanks for the gentle, thoughtful reminder that no matter how bad we think we have it, there are others struggling to find fresh water, feed their families and find safe shelter.

The filters do not go bad over times so there is no reason not to get them in larger quantities.

We have a Brita one we bought a little over 4 years ago, and it is still going strong. And if someone wanted to pick one up on the cheap, I see like-new (and sometimes brand new) ones at the thrift store frequently. Duplicate wedding gifts, I wonder? My mom was able to pick up a nice new Brita pitcher at the thrift store a few weeks ago for $2.
