Why Victor is fundraising for clean water

Every year, we work with CASA as our local charity. We buy Christmas presents for dozens of children in the foster care system. We love the charity because the donation we make goes directly to the children, and boy do they need some good Christmas cheer.

This year, we are adding an international charity into the mix. As many of you know, our daughter Alexandra has joined charity: water as their associate copywriter. Please Help me celebrate my birthday by contributing to clean water instead of a birthday gift.

Can you even imagine not having water at the tap, clean water?

For the 703 million people living without it, the answer is anything. And they do: they walk miles every day, in treacherous conditions and extreme heat, just to access water that makes them sick — or worse.

That’s why I’m doing this fundraiser. charity: water challenged me to do something to help those who would do anything for water that’s safe to drink.

Please support my fundraiser. Every $40 I raise will provide a lifetime of clean water to one person. Most importantly, 100% of every dollar you donate will go directly to providing the life-changing gift of clean water where it’s needed most. charity: water will even report back with details of where your money went, and how it’s helping.

Hey - I have 46 days left to hit my birthday giving goal - aspiring to raise enough to cover the average cost of a well that will hydrate an entire village - and change the lives of the people who only have access to diseased water full of parasites. If you have already helped - thank you so much for helping to make an impact. charity: water has a 100% guarantee that all funds go directly to help, none to charity: water. They are funded separately by benefactor donors. If you have not given - please help if you can. Although most of our charity goes to our local CASA Christmas gift effort - charity: water is our international charity. Most people in the world do not have clean water - it a fixable problem. just requires funding for drilling. Often the clean water that will change the life for a village is just 100 to 200 feet below the ground.
