Ten years ago, charity: water made a pledge to bring clean water to the millions of people around the world who are thirsty, sick and in need. By now, they've perfected the technology, training and education necessary to provide millions of people with safe water but simply cannot sustain this pledge by themselves. To help, I'm pledging my 25th birthday to charity: water and the people around the world that deserve better.

Especially during this time of political uncertainty and unrest, I believe that compassion and empathy are what we need to inspire real change in this world. I believe that a little love can go a long way. And I believe that we can make the world a better place by being good to one another.

I pledged my 23rd birthday to charity: water and you helped me raise over $1,100. For my 25th birthday, I'd like to exceed $1,500 and help more than 50 people gain access to clean water.

No amount is too small and charity: water guarantees that 100% of your donation will be used to build clean water projects. My campaign officially ends December 31, 2016 - please consider contributing and making the world a little bit brighter.
