This year I decided to do something different for my birthday – raising money for water.

Isn't it crazy that in 2017 there still are people who die of thirst. People who don't have clean water to consume? People who have to travel miles and miles everyday to get water for themselves and their families? I mean - WHAT THE FUCK!

So, as selfish as it may sound, I'm asking you to donate $28 for my 28th birthday, but anything, really, is greatly appreciated.

If you need some inspiration, or want to learn more on why I came to do this, watch the following video, in which the founder of charity: water tells his story. https://www.charitywater.org/about/scotts_story.php

If you don't have time for the video here is the TLDW:

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. charity: water is building these types of projects 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.

Thank you,
Gabriel C. Troia
