Homeward Bound Newsletter June 2021

 

You guessed it right. June is Paul McCartney’s Birthday Month. BUT why would I mention this to YOU?

Well, since you have been kind enough to be a part of our business, I wanted to take the opportunity to give YOU a gift on Paul McCartney’s birthday.  I am sure Sir McCartney doesn’t mind. He seems to have plenty of stuff, so I’d like to celebrate his birthday by giving you (and those you know), TWO very special gifts! Yes, TWO gifts.

Your Home Sold, Guaranteed, at Your Price or I’ll Buy It*

Yes, this is the guarantee I am most famous for. And you will know that whether it’s a super awesome real estate market or a housing recession, I have not wavered from this guarantee.  The peace of mind from a guarantee like this is a fantastic gift. I can think of none better.

My team and I are committed to results.  In fact, Results-Oriented is one of our core values. For more than 15 years people have been coming to us when they want their home sold, at their price and with the least hassle.  We look forward to the next 15 years of Guaranteed Results for area homeowners.  (see inside for details)

 

Gift #2…

Donations to Water Wells For Africa on Your behalf.

 

In last month’s letter, I updated you on our goal of raising $10,000 for Water Wells For Africa this calendar year. In case you missed it, we donate a portion of our income from home sales to WWFA.  There is more than enough fresh water in the world for domestic use, agriculture, and industry, however, the poor are largely excluded from this globally recognized “human right.” The millions forced to collect water from drains, ditches and streams suffer a deprivation that threatens life, destroys opportunity, and severely undermines human dignity. This is the problem, and it can all be avoided.

Rural peoples harbor the majority of this cruel, subtle crisis. The African continent faces the greatest challenge of any region of the world with roughly 1 of 3 (330 million) people not using a clean water source. Eighty-four percent of these people live in rural areas. This represents an increase of 66 million people since 1995 who do not have a clean water source. Unfortunately, aid commitments for solutions targeting rural populations are declining while aid for urban solutions has increased 60% since 2006. As a result, on any given day more than 50% of hospital beds in Sub-Saharan Africa are filled with water/hygiene-related illnesses.

 

YOUR REFERRALS HELP THE COMMUNITY! Keep them coming!

Who do you know considering buying or selling a home you could refer to my real estate sales team?  Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service and iron-clad guarantees but the community at Water Wells For Africa will benefit as well.

Just give me a call or pass my number on to anyone you know considering buying or selling. My number is 239-443-6757.

AND remember your REFERRALS help save lives!

Most don’t know though that WWFA is a non-profit.  They depend on sponsorships and donations to deliver their world-class assistance to our neighbors in need!

This year, we are on a mission to raise $10,000 for Water Wells For Africa. We do this by donating to them a portion of our income from homes we sell.

Why I Give to Water Wells For Africa:

I’ve always been a firm believer that prevention is better than cure. Having access to clean water helps prevent diseases from infecting our bodies and allows us to live a healthy life.

Across much of the developing world, “unclean water is an immensely greater threat to human security than violent conflict”. Sadly, children’s vulnerability makes them the greatest bearers of this tragedy. Each year an estimated 2.2 million children die from diarrhea2 and 443 million school days are lost to water-related illnesses. Most notably this crisis could be prevented by the provision of three fundamental foundations of human progress: delivering clean water, removing wastewater, and providing sanitation.

The solution, while surprisingly straightforward, is critical for developmental progress. When implemented—the comprehensive approach of providing water, sanitation, and hygiene together—has a profound impact on the communities involved. In terms of direct economic reward, every dollar invested in water and sanitation yields a $9 return. While the UN suggests that a person’s basic needs can be met with a mere 20-50 liters (4-10 gal) of safe water, WWFA is committed to establishing and maintaining a holistic and integrated approach. The impact is one for life. Approximately 2500 people in a village will benefit for an estimate of 20 years (each well).
