Hello Friends and Family!

Ethan and Max here. Our birthday is coming up and we are so fortunate to have all the books, toys and clothes we need and more. (Also, Mommy and Daddy are running out of space in our house.)

Instead of bringing us gifts, how about we all help give clean water to kids and their parents who may not have it?

If you can read, unlike us, please read some words below about charity:water, a very neat organization that our family has been involved with in the past. Or you can watch the video on this page! (We like videos.)

Bye-bye!

Ethan and Max

PS - Word from Mommy and Daddy - this is a US charity so all donations will be in USD and no tax receipts will be issued. Any amount, big or small - even $10 in lieu of gifts would be great. No pressure at all!

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 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.
