I feel like I am already so fortunate, there is not really anything I NEED for my birthday this year. Unfortunately, not everyone is so fortunate. There are many people in the world who do not even have access to clean water, let alone indoor plumbing. How can I ask for gifts, knowing this? So this year, in lieu of gifts, I would prefer donations to this campaign through Charity:Water. Feel free to visit their website & see how your money will be put to use.

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 my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
