Even in a year like 2020, with the COVID pandemic, racial inequalities, and political unrest, there is still much to be grateful for. And isn't that with the holidays are about? One of the many things I'm grateful for is my health, family, shelter, and clean 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.

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. I have traveled the world, volunteering in many of the areas where these projects will have an eternal impact. I've seen firsthand the profound impact access to clean water has on the development of a community, in health, education, and livelihood.

In the season of giving, I ask you to please consider donating 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.

Thank you all for considering my campaign. Just listening brings my heart joy. Remember to always lead with love. Happy Holidays
