goal
This September I'm turning 35. And so, like last year, I'm sharing my birthday with charity: water to help bring clean drinking water to people in need.
charity: water is also celebrating their fifth birthday, and has already helped 2 million people get access to safe water. But this year, they want to accelerate their impact by purchasing a new drilling rig and the equipment it takes to dig even more wells for villages in need.
So to help, I'm giving up my birthday gifts and asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. If $35 is a little too steep, then give what you can. If you've got money burning a hole in your pocket, then feel free to get a jump on donating for my 70th, 80th or an ambitious 100th birthday.
Whatever amount you choose to give, 100% of the money will fund the equipment to drill wells for people in northern Ethiopia.
That's not all -- charity: water will mount a GPS device to drilling rig we fund -- so we'll be able to follow it from village to village once the work gets under way!
Join me -- each drilling rig can help bring clean water to 80 new villages each year, and help 40,000 people get clean water.
Your donation can make a huge impact.
Great cause worth supporting. God Bless as you raise funds for this worthy cause on your Birthday.
