Why Thomas Leemon is fundraising for clean water

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.

In a month from now, I will be turning 26 years old.

In the age of social media, it has become common and even expected for people to post happy birthday messages on Facebook.

This year, I'd like to for you to do something different. I'd like for you to help me provide drinking water for those who need it.

I have a goal of raising $800, enough to provide water for 26 people. I would LOVE if we went over that amount, but that's the goal so for the next month, for my birthday, help me help others.

I appreciate it!
