Friends and Family,

I've dedicated the past couple years really focusing on achieving one goal. Buying a house. I am really thankful that I have the opportunity to put myself in such a position. Additionally, I am forever grateful for the fantastic support system you all have created for me.

Throughout this time, I've put almost all my time into myself and I began to feel that shift emotionally. Now that I have achieved a happy milestone in my life, I'd like to celebrate it by trying to helping some other people out.

There are people throughout the world who do not have access to clean water. If you hang out with me, you know that I always have a water bottle next to me. I cherish water and really believe its one of the biggest drivers of life. Knowing that the technology to fix the lack of clean water is already developed, but not integrated in all walks of life is saddening. Especially when water is a basic right and enables living in a healthy world.

After leaving this page, I'd like you to at least become more aware of the situation. I tend to have tunnel vision frequently and forget about the struggles of our brothers and sisters across the world.

If you desire, and only if you truly do, I ask you to donate to this campaign in lieu of getting me a housewarming gift/birthday present. I don't expect much (really nothing at all), even a donation of around 20 dollars would help achieve this goal.

Lastly, I'd like to reiterate that I am extremely thankful to have all of you in my life. I would not be where I am today without the support of my friends and family. I still can't believe that I am about to own a home and I can't wait to have you all over.

Much love,
Rony A.
