My hero is Ryan Hreljac. He raised lots of money. He helped to provide clean water to people who really needed it. He is a very caring, kind and fair person.

He is caring because when he found out that kids in some countries don’t have clean water, he wanted to help them. He raised money by doing chores for his parents and other people. He raised enough to build a well in a country that needed it. He was only six years old!

He now runs an organization called Ryan’s Well. They have raised millions of dollars and have built hundreds of wells in many countries.

Ryan has many good qualities as a person. He was good at building wells when he first started. He is my hero because he does nice things and helps build wells for people who need clean water.
