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. Instead of receiving any presents this year for my birthday I would like to pledge my birthday towards this campaign.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. My goal is $675 as it would provide access to clean water to 22 people. Any donation is awesome, my suggestion is $22 as its both the age I am turning and my favorite number :)

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 so much participating in the campaign and helping to spread clean water around the world.
