Our love letter to your selfless generosity

We’re sharing some of our favorite supporter stories, known and unknown.We’re sharing some of our favorite supporter stories, known and unknown. [Who doesn't love a good story?]( At charity: water, we tell them all the time. Most often, they’re stories of people whose lives have been transformed by clean water. Communities that flourish after water finally begins to flow. Other times, we tell stories of generous donors who have hosted big events, or tiny heroes with big hearts who have traded birthday gifts for clean water. Our team encounters inspiring stories every single day. And while we've shared a fair number of supporter stories over the years, there are so many others (known and unknown) that have made us smile, warmed our hearts, and even made us reach for a tissue — but we haven’t shared them. Until now. We decided it was time to celebrate those who have given — a little or a lot, one time or many — without expectation of acknowledgement. People who have given simply for giving’s sake. People like you. Without naming names, we’re sharing some of our favorite supporter stories in [a love letter to selfless generosity]( that we’re calling Dear Anonymous.
