It is my 40th birthday on December 29th! Wahoo! This year I am committing to raise $400 for Charity Water for my birthday. That's just $10 for every year I have been alive and blessed with clean water. In lieu of cards or gifts, I would love for you to donate to this campaign. Even a few dollars that would have been spent on a greeting card can really make a difference.

Please consider donating to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help. Xo! EE

Below is the blurb from Charity Water.

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!

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.

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