I'm about to enter the last year of my teens, and it's getting real emotional. I find myself listening to existential mix tapes from the 80's and trying to pick up golf. I have been so blessed with an amazing family, phenomenal friends, and all of the hipster clothing my little heart could ever want. I have more than enough, and I need to give back this year.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Whether it be some deity or just kindness that propels you, I know together we can lessen the suffering of at least a few others. Help me reach my goal, and lets share a little bit of the love. Thank you and God bless.
