There are 800 million people in the world living without access to clean water. Let's change that!

Birthdays have always been so joyful for me. Every year I've been so excited to celebrate my birth through time spent with all of you and the amazing gifts that you have shared with me. This year I'm truly grateful to have friends and loved ones near and an income to afford what I need and want. With all of this abundance, I would like to share it with others.

Instead of gifts for me this year, please consider making a gift to the people that "charity: water" serves.

I'm asking for my age in dollars (31) or ANY amount that you are willing to donate (sorry if this was not clear before). Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, "charity: water" will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me share the abundance of clean drinking water with everyone! I may be one person. But if we all take action, we would be the force of billions.
