Our Children NEED and DESERVE SAFE, CLEAN DRINKING WATER!!

Bottles for The Babies is a grassroots organization created by native Flintstone, Lanice Lawson. With nearly 15 years of experience in the nursing field as an RN, she knows all too well the devastating effects of lead in the body, especially in children under the age of six.
This initiative was initially created to supply the children of Flint with clean drinking water as a result of the contamination. The water in the Flint community schools has been completely shut off. Meaning, the children do not have access to clean drinking water unless they supply it themselves, and this is where we come in. With the need for clean water being so great across the city, efforts were extended to include consistent home deliveries to the elderly and physically handicapped.
The lead contamination in Flint's water has resulted in the poisoning of tens of thousands of innocent people in this community. This is disheartening. It has the people feeling not only frustrated and angry, but helpless and vulnerable. Every human being deserves clean drinking water. This is not a want or luxury. This is a NECESSITY! Since the government is Incompetent of providing this basic human right, the citizens of this country MUST pull together for the sake of humanity, and provide them with the clean drinking water they so desperately need.
