I've been (and am still) donating monthly to Charity:Water, to help build these water drilling projects in parts of the world where the dire need for clean water has gone long unanswered. The life changing work they do has genuinely inspired me and spurred me into running this campaign.

So instead of birthday gifts this year, please give this team a huge help for their cause, and claim a big warm hug from me after. ^.^

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.

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.
