Even when it seems like nothing is going right, it just took a moment to realize how lucky I really am. The generosity of people have saved me on multiple occasions throughout the year from joining me on a cross country road trip, to letting me stay in their homes, taking me out to dinner, or sending letters!

I want to continue to extend their generosity. I very much appreciate everything I have been given and realize that others have not been as lucky. My birthday wish this year is to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion people living without it.

The best part: 100% of all donations go directly toward water projects, to build freshwater projects for people in developing countries.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.

Please join me for my 25th, since I'm across the country anyway this makes the most sense!!!
Kjersti :)
