Dearest Friends and Family,

I love birthdays. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love birthdays. I love that every single person has one day to feel loved and celebrated. However, this year I wanted to do something more. I am asking that instead of giving me a birthday present for my 25th birthday, that you would consider donating $25 to charity: water!

When I was asked what I was going to do for my big 2-5, I had no idea what I was going to do. Then, I remembered charity: water.

Many of us have no idea what it's like to be truly thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink -- even the water in our toilets is clean! So often we take for granted this basic need.

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.

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!

Thank you in advance for the donations and for helping me in this campaign!

Much love,
Sara
