She loved Taylor Swift and had a secret crush on Justin Bieber, although she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d never admit it. She had a loving family and a heart that wanted to solve every problem she saw in this world. Once, she cut off all her hair and donated it to make wigs for kids who had cancer. So when she sat in church one day and heard Scott Harrison from charity: water give a talk about how kids her age in Africa didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have clean water to drink, she immediately decided to help.<\/em><\/div>\n<p><em>With her mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s encouragement, she created a&nbsp;<a title=\"Rachel's campaign\" href=\"http:\/\/mycharitywater.org\/p\/campaign?campaign_id=29811\" target=\"_blank\">fundraising page<\/a>&nbsp;on mycharitywater.org, telling her family and friends that she didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want presents for her ninth birthday. Instead, she asked them to donate $9, as she was turning 9. Rachel wanted kids like her to have clean water to drink.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>She had a big goal: to raise $300 and give 15 people clean drinking water.
