As a Career Coach, many people ask me, "What's the purpose of my life?"

Our life's purpose is simple: it's about helping those that we can and leaving the world better than we found it.

As I turn 32 this year, I've realized I do not need anymore material goods. In fact, I continue to adopt minimalism because an uncluttered physical space leaves my mind cleared.

Despite growing up modestly, I've been so blessed in my life as I've never had to worry about where to bathe or what to drink. Access to clean water should not be a privilege, it's a basic human right.

That's why today I want to pledge my birthday as I just became aware of Charity Water while Googling trustworthy causes. Here's an inspiring video of how Charity Water began and how they use their funds (get the tissues out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE9UvT5ujyg

I want to ask that you make any contribution that you can to this organization - whether it's $5 or $100 - it all makes a difference! I'm going to match every dollar (up to $1,000 total). Let's do this together. <3

Thank you and please share with those that you feel would enjoy giving the gift of water.

Love,
Emily

Note from Charity Water's Mission:

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean!

But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. 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.

This fundraising campaign is to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

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.
