Why David "Tito" Matos is fundraising for clean water

Hello and welcome to my Dirty Thirty Birthday Campaign!

I would first like to thank you all for doing such a great job and making it this far! So give yourselves a round of applause and a pat on the back because you all deserve it! I would now like to introduce you all to a non-profit organization I hold very close and dear to my heart called charity: water and if you haven't already seen the one minute video on this page I highly recommend that you do before exiting.

Why the title "DirtyThirty"? Well if you haven't yet figured it out charity: water helps bring water filtration solutions into developing communities all over the world. So filtering Dirty water into clean water is what we do best and I'm also turning Thirty years old this year.

charity: water has literally changed and saved my life when I was 17. The founder Scott Harrison took me in as if he knew me my entire life and put me right to work as a volunteer. I met so many beautiful people who I never thought could possibly exist in my life at the time. It became very clear that this is what I wanted to dedicate my life to. So I incorporate giving back in everything I do as much as possible to inspire others to do the same.

You see I grew up in a toxic household where we all just didn't know how to communicate and/or love one another. So when I was introduced to Scott I felt as if I was blessed with a brand new brother/mentor/father figure/hero. Little did I know this was just the beginning of my brand new life full of love, light, and pure wisdom from those I met along the way.

So with that said many of us have no idea what it's like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink that 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 however it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand filtration systems that help provide clean safe drinking water to communities all around the world.

I started this fundraising campaign to help charity: water build these types of projects all around the world, and I'm looking for anyone who can help me.

So I would like to ask for you all to kindly donate $30 to my campaign (or anything you can give) seeing that it's my 30th birthday and all.

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. Also for those of you who love to travel I'd love to organize a huge trip to go visit the project and the people it has affected in person one day.

Thank you for your time and now let's get ready to change the world TOGETHER!
