Today is my birthday. I am thankful to be alive and in good health. Instead of having a party or getting gifts I want to celebrate differently.
I want CLEAN WATER.
This year, I’m giving up my birthday for charity: water.
As you may or may not know I am passionate about women & children and this includes the less fortunate ones. Water is something most of us take for granted but a good number of people don’t have clean water. Many women and children in developing countries go out looking for clean water for their families.
I have been thinking about this goal since my last birthday so I hope you can help me out. Let’s DO something about this situation.
Instead of giving me presents, or writing on my Facebook wall, please donate $33 for my 33rd birthday, and help me bring clean water to people in need.
Of course you don’t have to give exactly $33. Any amount you give will be appreciated.
Please go to my water campaign for more information on why I am doing this and to donate: http://mycharitywater.org/birthday-pledge-campaign
What’s really awesome is that 100% of the money we raise will directly fund water project costs in the field, and charity: water will prove every single dollar. When the project we help fund is complete, they’ll send us a digital completion report with GPS coordinates and photos of the community we helped. Here’s an example.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than by giving the gift of clean water to people in need. Please join me.
