We wake up everyday to tons of resources so many people in this world do not have the luxury of enjoying. I don’t know about you, but I shower every day, enjoy water from the tap in my house, and don’t think twice about what it takes to get it or where it really comes from. We hardly ever even have to take a second to worry that it might not be there the next time we turn the facet. We take so many things for granted.

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.

Imagine taking a bit of the resources we have and making a difference in this world. Taking something small and making a life-changing difference!

This year for Jacob's birthday we wish to teach him how important it is to give to others. Instead of toys for his birthday, we are asking our friends and family to help him give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billions living without it. We want to make his birthday matter this year!

Please join us!

Please consider giving ANY amount to make this difference. Seriously, ANY amount. Some good amounts to try; how about some value that signifies Jacob's upcoming age: $.30, $3, $30, $300, etc. Consider cashing in all that spare change you’ve got laying around. Please take a minute and read the facts about what a measly $500 can do to change a community of people. Help us show Jacob that life is more important than expensive toys and gadgets! (Hey I'm not against those things, believe me he has enough!)

Feel free to pass this link on to anyone and/or everyone.

Thank you so much for helping us make Jacob's birthday special!
