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! For my 19th birthday, I would love to give back and it would be so generous if anyone would make a donation to Boston College's charity: water campaign. You could donate $19.00 for my turning nineteen, $9.00, or even $1.90! Every little bit makes a difference and can help change someone's life.

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.
