Hi friends!

I'm turning 35 in another month on new years day 2018 (eek!). As most of you know, I've paused my life for a little bit to re-evaluate where to go next and ensure I am focusing on what I value most. One of the things I would like to do more of is to contribute.

So for my 35th birthday, I would like to give clean drinking water to people that don't have it. Water is such a basic need that we take for granted but in many places, women and girls walk 4+ hours daily to get diseased water for their families. Meaning they don't get to be with their children or go to school like they should be able to...something that breaks my heart.

I found an awesome charity called Charity Water who helps people in developing countries simply get water and 100% of funds raised goes to this cause. They are serious that all dollars donated go to this cause. They are so transparent, they even track where each and every well that has been installed via GPS and Google Earth.

I'm asking for you to donate what you can. It would be awesome to get $35 for my 35th birthday. My goal is $1,500 or enough to give 50 people access to clean water..a lofty but achievable goal! Please donate here on this page.

I've already made the first donation!

Here's a link about Charity Water and how it started. It's an inspiring story: https://cwtr.org/watchthespring

It's going to be my best year yet. Thanks for helping kick start it.

XO,
Lisa.
