I started this fundraising campaign after reading books about the lack of water and resources in other parts of the world, mainly Africa. I was also inspired by my four cousins, who were adopted from Africa. I have everything I really need, and can't think of anything I want for my Birthday. What I really want for my Birthday is to help others who are in need. Instead of giving me a Birthday present this year, I want you to donate that money you would have spent on my present, to help build a well.

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.
Please donate to my campaign -- anything you can give is a huge help.

Thank You,

Johnny

PS- 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.
