I feel blessed beyond belief in my life to have the family I have and the resources I have. The idea that somebody, anybody, doesn't have access to some of the most basic of necessities such as clean drinking water is terribly disturbing and something I've been personally investing to try to correct for the last several years.

This year, I turn 38 -- it's not a monumental birthday. I get no new privileges or honors -- no discounts or recognition -- so I'm trying to do something special for others.

Every little bit helps -- can you give $5? $10? You won't feel it in your daily lives but together it will make a huge impact.

Your donation means a lot to me and will make my 38th something very special indeed. Thanks!

I would encourage you to give whatever you feel right to give RIGHT NOW... don't think about it as you'll find yourself 2 weeks from now having not done it. I'd prefer to get $5 towards this today than to never get your debated $10 gift. ;-) You can always come back and give more if you feel led to do so!
