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!

I am very grateful to live in a developed area with reliable access to clean water and sanitation, 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, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

Please donate to my campaign -- consider it your birthday gift to me! Anything you can give is appreciated, even just a few cents.

100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send pictures and GPS coordinates so you can see the exact community we helped.
