I have everything I could possibly want and there are amazing people that don't have the basics. Let's help them!

This year I was lucky enough to get the amazing opportunity to join charity: water as a front end developer. The past two years charity: water has sent its new staff to Ethiopia to experience the water crisis first hand. It was one of the greatest and most humbling experiences of my life.

The people of Ethiopia are amazing. They are welcoming, non-judging and just all around delightful. However, so many of them don't have the basic necessities to live a prosperous life. Water changes everything or so I've heard, and now seen. Women and children in Ethiopia walk miles per day to collect water and most often it's not even clean. These people, everyone, deserves better. A clean water source means: less disease, less time spent collecting, more time for education, working and presumably dancing (the people of Ethiopia are tremendous dancers).

For my 27th birthday I've decided to do my part to end the water crisis. I am fortunate to have so much in my life: a beautiful loving wife, cat and delicious delicious beer always at the ready. I don't need anything else in my life at the moment so I urge you to help me help others by making a donation for clean water.

Thank you.
