What does $500 buy you? Here in the US it may be a month's worth of gas, a few new items of clothing, a year's worth of fancy coffee, or a third of a mortgage payment. But in other parts of the world, $500 is absolutely life changing! It can bring clean water to people, a year's worth of education for a small girl, or provide vaccines for a village. This year, rather than amassing a few additional birthday trinkets marking yet another year, I hope you'll conisder donating the amount in my honor to make a real difference. Help me support charity: water and their dream of making a huge impact by delivering clean, safe water to hundreds of people worldwide.
