Every day, 5,000 kids under the age of 5 die from water-related illnesses. I'm gonna help change that!

Hi All,
My birthday is around the corner. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but this year I'm really thankful to have lived another happy, healthy year.

I recently learned that millions of kids around the world don't live to see their fifth birthday because they don't have access to clean, safe drinking water. We can help change that.

I’m asking all my friends and family to donate to charity: water and give clean water to people who need it. This is all I want for my birthday.

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.

I'm hoping you can help me reach my goal of $1,000. Please donate to my birthday campaign! Thank you!

Forever grateful,
Andrea
