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.

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

If you could give just $25 to celebrate my 25th year of life, instead of giving gifts or sending me a happy birthday card, that would make me so much happier and fulfilled in my 25th year of life. Please celebrate a quarter of a century with me by giving $25 to children in need of clean water and brighter futures.

If you are unable to donate $25, anything you can give is a huge help.

My goal is $1,250 which will give clean water to 41 people. Please help me meet this goal by January 4th!

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.
