Friends and family, as many of us know there are people all around the world who have severe lack of access to clean water. This is a topic I have done quite some research on. I have a strong desire to spread the word and make a change. I titled this campaign, "Why Not Us", because anyone can make a difference, so, what is stopping you? Why not us? Even just a dollar can go a long way and I am hoping to raise enough money to give 13 people access to clean water. Thank you for your support.

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.
