Since I was 3 years old, I have been donating my birthday to charity: water. I have helped raise over $12,500. We took a family trip to Kenya when I was 5 and I was able to see how access to clean water changes lives.

What would you do for clean water? For the 703 million people living without it, the answer is anything. And they do: they walk miles every day, in treacherous conditions and extreme heat, just to access water that makes them sick — or worse.

That’s why I’m doing this fundraiser. charity: water challenged me to do something to help those who would do anything for water that’s safe to drink.

Please support my campaign. Every $40 I raise will provide a lifetime of clean water to one person. Most importantly, 100% of every dollar you donate will go directly to providing the life-changing gift of clean water where it’s needed most. charity: water will even report back with details of where your money went, and how it’s helping.
