Nine-year-old Rachel Beckwith didn’t live long enough to reach her goal of raising $300 to bring clean water to African villagers. She died in a 13-car accident on Interstate 90 in Bellevue, Wash., last week, the Seattle Times reported. Since then, hundreds of thousands of dollars have flowed into the charity page she set up shortly before her accident, with more than 9,000 people contributing $368,000 to Rachel’s cause. The 9-year-old told family and friends she didn’t want presents for her June 12 birthday, only donations to the non-profit Charity Water.
