Hey all,

My birthday is around the corner. I don’t usually ask for presents, but this year I’ve decided to make an exception. I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it, instead of giving me gifts.

If you're reading this, I can assume you've access to not only electricity, but water, freely and without concern. We treat it as a luxury. Considering this, there's no reason together we can't reach or even surpass my goal of $2,000 towards providing clean water to those who need it.

100% of every dollar you donate to my birthday campaign will be used to build clean water projects in developing countries. charity: water funds their operating costs separately through a group of private donors, so 100% of all public donations will go directly to people in need.

I intend to do this every year indefinitely, so if you aren't in a position to contribute this year, you've another ~80 years to do so!

Thank you,
Trent
