I saw this story and it needs to be passed on, posted to Facebook, or whatever else you can do. This little girl in Washington state decided all of her birthday money should be donated to help people in Africa who don't have clean drinking water. She set up a charity page through Charity:Water and set her goal to be $300.
Well, unbelievably, she was killed in a car accident last week. It is a terrible tragedy. But people all over the world are stepping up to donate to her charity page for the people of Africa. It is over $500,000 now. Seriously, with all the B.S. in the world and people fixated on Casey Anthony, Rachel's story needs our attention.

This is Rachel's charity page for Africa. You can see how much has been raised, donate, and read the beautiful comments.

And here is the MSN article I read about her that got my attention:
