Hi everyone! Instead of gifts for my birthday, I've sent you all here to donate to charity:water because there are a lot of people out there who don't have access to clean drinking water, and we can help them right now!! Anything you can give will be a huge help, but you can do me one better if you tell your friends and family to donate too! My goal is to reach $12,000 because that's about how much it costs to build a well that will give a whole community clean water. Fun fact: these donations are tax deductible! After you donate, you'll get a tax receipt emailed to you. All the more reason to support a good cause :)

Thanks for being awesome!

A note from charity:water,
Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.
