Hello all -
I hope this note find you well. I am once again donating my Christmas to charity:water and hope you can help!

The greatest gift you can give me this holiday season, is contributing to this amazing cause. As I learn more and more that I can live with so much less, I also learn how much people in this world HAVE to live without. Basic needs like FRESH WATER are such a challenge!

In lieu of any gift you might give me, or even if I didn't make it on your list ;) - please consider donating any amount at all to my charity. I'm attempting to raise $350 which would bring 11 people fresh water! Every dollar counts, so please help me and donate whatever you can!

Thank you, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

"In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water. Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school -- all of which fight poverty."

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.

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.
