Why did you want to fundraise for charity:water?

Later this month I turn 25, and I've had an incredibly fortunate first 25 years. To celebrate, I wanted to bring my loved ones together so we can give back to those who haven't been so lucky.

1 in 10 people lack access to clean water. Every day, about 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.

We can provide clean water to 25 people if we meet the $750 goal.

Together we can bring better health to families, give women more time to earn an income and ensure that kids get to go to school instead of collecting water.

Many people fill their 5-gallon jerry cans of water (that is not necessarily even safe to drink) and walk back home. This trip is often 3-4 miles, and they make it every day. The standard jerry can weighs 40 lbs when full.

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.

A $30 donation provides one person with access to clean water. If you donate $30 or more then I'll mail you a small thank you gift!

Please help me reach my $750 goal by my 25th birthday on May 29th-- 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.

Thank you!

XOXO
