Campaign '25-'26

Hey! My name is Merrick Ballou, and I’m a freshman studying Aviation and Marketing at Oklahoma State University, and I am a Global Partnership Representative for Wishes for Water, a 501c3 nonprofit. We partner with Dr. Tererai Trent in rural Zimbabwe to drill boreholes, bringing clean water to communities where women often walk miles for water instead of going to school.

Clean water changes everything—it means food can be grown, families can earn income, and women and children can get an education. This cause is close to my heart because I’ve always been passionate about helping others and creating connections that last a lifetime.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my DonorBox! Your support—whether through a donation or simply learning about Wishes for Water—means the world to me. Together, we can bring hope, education, and opportunity to communities in need.
