Many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. Imagine if you had no clean water. Imagine walking hours to the nearest river to collect water for your family -- water that’s not even clean. Imagine giving that water to your kids.

Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects around the world like drill wells, spring protections and BioSand filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.

Here's the goal. Determine how much you spend on coffee each month (both at home and out) and donate that same amount to this campaign for Charity Water. Don't have extra cash right now- what about giving up coffee for one month to let others have water? If we raise $1000 dollars we will help 10 families access clean water.

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
