Hey friends and family,

Letty and I have our 38th birthdays coming up and since we're only two weeks apart we've decided to do something different this year. Instead of asking for gifts, we're asking for $38 or more from everyone we know. It's not going to us, though. All of it is going to fresh water projects in developing countries.

Almost a billion people in the world are living without clean water -- but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 30,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still have to walk hours each day to get dirty water for their families.

Our birthday wish this year is not for more gifts. We have everything we need. Our goal is to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion people living without it.

AND.... as a bonus.... If we reach our goal of $3800, you will not only bring clean water to 190 people but I (Carlos) will face my fear of snakes and hold the largest snake I can find in Las Vegas for 38 seconds. Whew!

The best part: 100% of all donations go directly toward water projects. And about 18 months after this campaign ends, charity: water will show us where and how every dollar we raised ended up helping in the field. We'll see GPS coordinates, photos and more details about the communities we've impacted.

Thanks for reading and considering a donation. And if you can't donate, we totally understand.... please just help us spread the word.

Peace,
Light,
And Love,

Carlos & Letty
