On November 15th I turned 47!
( I know, hard to believe.....hahaha)

Birthdays are usually about stuff. Stuff I don't need. And to be honest, I am trying to clear out my stuff.

So this year, I'm gave up my birthday. I set up this website and donated $47 to charity: water to help provide clean drinking water to those who don't have it.

I'm asking for $47 , or really whatever (less or more) you are moved to give, from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

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. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.

My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Please join me!

please note: Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
