Guys! My birthday is just days away and while I'm not usually excited about getting older, this awesome opportunity is making it much more exciting. I am so blessed and thankful to have lived another year and would love to use this campaign as a way to show my gratitude and pay it forward.

I learned about Charity:water a few years ago. This organization is awesome " BECAUSE 100% OF THE PROCEEDS GO STRAIGHT TO GETTING CLEAN WATER TO COMMUNITIES IN NEED." There aren't many charities that do that these days. I was doing some research recently and learned that there are 748 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Not only that but MILLIONS of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water.
That breaks my heart. We can change those statistics.

I am asking for donations for this cause instead of candy or presents or cards this year. Every penny of the money raised will go directly to Charity:water to help fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 21 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

I am humbled and excited for this opportunity to use my birthday as a way to help great cause. Please take the time to help, every dollar counts.

Just hit the green "donate" button. There are several payment options including credit card or even a check. Thanks Again!
