Birthday list :)

Instead of asking for gifts for my birthday this year, I'm asking for a few dollars or more from everyone I know. It's not going to me, though. All of it is going to build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.

A billion people in the world are living without clean water - but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won't, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.


My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don't need; it's to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.

Because of charity: water's unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is "proved" and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.

Please join me.

$20 can give a person access to fresh water for 20 years. It's amazing that donating just one dollar can give a person fresh water for a year, and change their life forever.

I am so excited about this! It's way better than any birthday presents I could ever get.

Check out Charity Water and see what amazing things they are doing. It breaks my heart, inspires me, and makes me incredibly grateful for where I was born and the life I have been given.

Here's how you can help. :) Every little bit changes a life.
