Dearest family and friends,

Can you believe it! We have a 4 year old and a 1 year old! Jack and Lila are growing up so fast! Once again, we are not asking for any gifts this year (for birthdays or the holidays), however, if you feel compelled to give, we are asking for donations to our favorite charity in any denomination of $18. Since the number 18 has great significance in the Jewish faith, our goal is to raise $540 in Lila's and Jack's names, to provide 18 people with clean, drinkable water. 100% of all your donations will go towards providing clean water (nothing goes towards company overhead).

Please help us continue to give back through this annual campaign occurring every September as we celebrate Lila's and Jack's birthdays.

For more information about this charity, please read their mission statement below:

"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, 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."
