I heard about charity: water at a summer conference I attended and my heart lit up. I loved that one person saw a need a filled a need. I enjoyed the intentional nature of the presentation. I appreciated feeling empowered to make a change without guilt.

I believe positive impact is necessary to have a full life and in this last quarter of 2018, I want to live life to the fullest.

So, for my 24th birthday(November 15th), I've decided to celebrate by raising funds for water projects around the world. I believe this will give others opportunities for a healthy life which can lead to endless possibilities.

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.

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.
