Rachel Beckwith.

In Seattle, where she lived 9-year-old Rachel Beckwith, came to lecture the head of a charitable organization. He stood on the stage and told how they help the poorest countries, such as Africa. He talked about how the 4.5 thousand children die every day from terrible diseases due to lack of fresh water. After that the girl decided to create a page on facebook and there she asked all her friends to not give her a birthday dolls and dresses, but asked to donate money to save the children. She wanted to raise 300 dollars to 15 people were able to get access to clean water. However, saving on gifts, the girl managed to collect only $ 220. More than she could ... and half months since the opening of the charity page tragedy struck: on the highway in Seattle faced 13 cars. Dozens of people were hospitalized with serious injuries, but the only victim of this accident was the Rachel Beckwith. Request to donate money to drinking water became Rachel's last wish. Learn about it hundreds of Americans. Scott Harris - the man was lecturing, learning of her death, reopened its page on the Internet. In October 2011, when the fundraiser was over, it was found that 31,997 people from around the world have donated 1,265,823 dollars. Three hundred dollars, which wanted to collect Rachel, could be saved from death a dozen people. Now collected on the amount you can spend drinking water in many African villages and save the lives of about 60,000 people.        


  After her death, the girl saved another life. Her organs transplanted to the man who was close to death.
