Hey!
Many of you who were friends with me back in 2011 remember that I did a Fundraising Campaign through Charity Water to raise money to build a well in Ethiopia to allow millions to have access to clean drinking water! That year we raised $3,100!
Well, I am doing it again, and this time I am doing it for my birthday! This year, I do not want ANY PRESENTS, and instead, would like you to give whatever you can to my campaign. My goal is to raise $1,000! Whether it be 5, 20, or $500, anything will help! If you workplace matches your donations, please do it through those portals! Below I will include some information about the water crisis and where this money will be going. If you have ANY questions, please feel free to reach out to me!

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, 1,400 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. 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.
Happy Birthday Derek!
Namaste*
For you, my friend! Keep inspiring! I love watching you share light.
Love you!
