Celebrate 25 years of life with Daniel by giving life through clean water.

Typically, a birthday is about one person. This year, for my birthday, I don't want it to be a simple celebration of only my life. Instead, I want to celebrate the years of life that we can give to others.

Did you know that almost a billion people on the planet don't have access to clean drinking water? Every day, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn't have to be this way; you can help change it! There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

Instead of giving me a gift for my birthday, I encourage you to take any money set aside for me and donate it to charity: water. One-hundred percent 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.

My goal is $25 for every year I have the privilege of celebrating. We have the privilege of abundance, so I encourage your generosity: give to those who need our help.
