Hey,

You're on this page because you either know me, John Potess, somehow, or you randomly stumbled upon this URL. Either way, I highly encourage you to donate to this campaign.

1. If you do know me and want to commemorate the day of my birth by helping other people in honor of human life, then donate whatever you can to this worthy cause.

2. If you don't know me and randomly landed here, just imagine instead that this page is for someone else's birthday that you DO know and donate anyway.

100% of donations go directly to projects that help bring clean water to communities that otherwise wouldn't have any.

The awesome thing about Charity Water, is their operating costs are all funded by private donors - this allows ALL public donations go directly to water projects.

Campaign Mission Statement:

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.

Please donate to this campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help -- literally, if all you can afford is $1, that's still amazing.

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.
