goal
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. I have always been lackadaisical about fundraising and charities. I have always done the spur of the moment donation i.e. 9/11, Indian Ocean tsunami in 04'. I want to help people get access to clean water.
I want to raise $480 by my 48th Birthday. Will you please help. Water is something we take for granted here. Help those around the world to get clean water.
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.
Had a good week last week, still pushing towards goal.. Want to thank everyone again who have helped so far making a difference.
