Blessing of Buckets from the Donut Factory

80% of the world isn't blessed with running water and daily they must walk to find it. Many women in La Digue Haiti begin their mornings just as the sun is rising by walking to find water. They put the water in buckets or whatever they have and carry it back home. The water will be used for drinking, cooking, washing, and bathing. It's hard enough to carry water but imagine not having a bucket. Some people have to make many many trips because they don't have proper equipment to carry it. We have a neighbor just on the other side of our fence who is very poor. The family of six live in a house made up of mud, sticks, and straw.
Thanks to The Donut Factory from Columbus Mississippi, they now have three nice new buckets to go get water with! The mom of the family was very happy to receiver her buckets. Something so simple like buckets makes a huge difference and makes her morning ritual so much easier. Thank you Donut Factory!
