My name is Michael Garcia , I'm from Westchester ny and this is my story. The Flint Water Crisis is a Drinking water Contamination crisis in Flint Michigan. The city's drinking water has a series of problems that culminated into lead contamination creating a series of public health dangers. the corrosive river water caused lead from aging pipes to leach into the water supply causing extremely high levels of lead. Between 6,000 -12,000 residents had severly high levels of lead in the blood and a range of other health problems. The water has also caused an outbreak of legionnares disease already killing 10 people and affecting a recorded 77 people.
WE started this fundraiser in hopes to raise money for bottled water to aid the people of Flint. A gallon of water cost about $1.113 and a case of 40 bottles of water cost $2.79. In all reality you could potentially save a child from a harmfull lead filled bath tub with just $5.00.
Myself and others are coming together in hopes to make a little diffrence. So please, every dollar counts and anything is greatly appreciated. let us all co me together to take care of our race... THE HUMAN RACE.
This water is going directly from Walmart store number #1928 -4313 in flint Michigan to well known Rev: Bobby Jackson of the mission of hope church in flint Michigan who had agreed to help pick up and deliver the water for us because we didn't quite meet our goal.
sincerly,
Michael Garcia
