Hello everyone! Thank you for following the link to my fundraiser. I am "Donating my Birthday" to charity: water. There are great descriptions on the site to tell you what they do. The gist of it, they drill down to water underground in areas of the world that don't have easy access to water. The idea behind this donation is that you ask people to donate to charity: water in the amount of my birthday. My birthday, coming up on Friday February 17, 2017, is my 33rd. So I ask of you to donate at least $33 today. I understand financial constraints, so please, donate what you can, or more than $33! My goal of $2,500 is lofty, but that can accumulate quickly with $33 per donation. Spread the word about this wonderful organization.

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.
