This week I turn 40 and I would like to ask you for a birthday present. Please take the time to read the below prewritten campaign wording and take a look at the website for further. If you agree with the cause, please consider donating. I heard about this on a podcast and was amazed at how they're able to put %100 of the money we donate towards the actual project, utilizing separate funding for the overhead costs. Any amount would be appreciated no matter how small, but if you're trying to think of a good number, may I suggest my birthday amount of $40? Thanks! Okay, here's the prewritten stuff I mentioned:

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.

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

Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

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.
