Happy Birthday Oriel! What a fantastic way to celebrate by giving back. Great idea!

I love you my dear sweet sister

In two weeks I'll celebrate my 40th birthday. (Yes, I'm owning it this year). And I wanted to do something big. As I look back over my last forty and forward to my next, the thing I need(ed) most is HOPE. Hope for the world and hope that I can do anything to help. My heart can't help but be dialed in and care deeply about suffering. One of the things on my heart lately is quality of life of those less fortunate. The majority of social ills and suffering for so many is directly or indirectly affected by lack of access to clean water.  Charity: Water is actively changing this from the ground up. One thing I like about this organization is that 100% of donations goes directly to supplying clean water, all business expenses are raised separately. 

I usually don't even tell anyone it's my birthday, and certainly never ask for gifts. But if my ask brings life and hope to the suffering, THAT would be the best gift for me. Hoping to drastically change 40 lives with you. Anything helps.
