We are The HOTH - a Chicago-based startup company that helps internet marketing agencies solve the painful problem of building back links so they can rank websites higher in search engines like Google.

...a problem that we realize does not affect 99.9% of the Earth's population.

This year, for Christmas, we decided to tackle a bigger problem. Although building backlinks for agencies is a worthwhile calling, it really pales in comparison to giving clean water to poor children who will die without it. So we decided, this year, for a couple of days, let's make a REAL difference.

Every single day, no matter what's going on in our lives, whether you just got married or just lost your job, 4000 innocent children die painfully because they don't have access to clean drinking water.

Frankly, the magnitude of the problem is a bit overwhelming. Many people shut down and lose hope thinking, "there's nothing I can do anyway."

But you can! We all can.

For only $20, we can give 1 child clean drinking water for 20 years!

20 years is long enough for that child get an education and become a community leader - long enough to begin tackling the challenges of building clean water wells without our help.

But for now, whether its "take your dog to work day" or "Christmas eve," 4000 kids will die today without our help.

******************************************
THIS CHRISTMAS,
PLEASE HELP US RAISE $5000
TO GIVE 250 PEOPLE CLEAN WATER
FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.
******************************************

ARE 250 PEOPLE WORTH IT TO YOU?

Think about it. 250 people equals 50 or 60 families. That may be the size of the street your grew up on or the elementary school you attended.

In our case, 250 people is the size of 17 companies just like ours.

Think about what 250 people means to you.

Is it the company you work for?
The church you belong to?
The last party you attended?

Now imagine if NONE of those people had the chance to survive, dying tragically at the hands of dehydration and painful digestive parasites.

So ask yourself, "Are 250 people worth it to ME?"

If yes, then please donate to our goal of $5000 this holiday season to give 250 people clean water for the next 20 years. No amount is too small, except for $0. Whether you have $10 or $10,000 to contribute, Your Contribution Matters. There are no retired billionaires or government grants to pick up the slack. This is our challenge, so let's face it together Right Now.

If 250 people aren't worth it to you, then all we ask is that you enjoy the money more than the children in Africa would have enjoyed the water.

Wishing the best to you and yours,

Alex Pyatetsky
