Friends & Family,

My 26th birthday is coming up and I am pledging my birthday this year to a special cause - bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Instead of sending me birthday wishes, cards, or gifts this year, I ask that you instead contribute $5, $10, or any amount you are willing to this important cause.

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. 100% of the money donated to charity: water will be used to build these clean water projects.

Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks in advance to all who participate, it means the world to me!

Lots of love,
Saf
