Why Ruth Perez is fundraising for clean water

So I am turning 22 in a few days and I'm believing for great things this year, so what better way to start off than to pledge my birthday to help others get clean water!?

Now I love my tap water and clean water is something we New Yorkers are fortunate to have, while people in other parts of the world are dying from the lack of it.

Women and young girls walk for hours to their nearest source and carry back 40 pounds of water that isn't even clean daily!!

Now I've tried carrying one of those cans and believe me, coming from a girl who thinks she's a super hero, it was tough!!

So in exchange of gifts this year I am asking my friends and family to join me in helping these families get clean water! No need to travel the world to make a difference.

With $1,000 I could help 10 families/50 people in Ethiopia get access to clean water.

From $2 to $22 to $222. Any little bit counts!

Muchas Gracias!!
