all of my birthdays up until now have always been about stuff. stuff I may want,but stuff that I definitely don't need.

so this year, i'm giving my birthday up.

i'm turning 21, and instead of asking for any presents, i'm asking for $21 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.

please join the cause and donate :)
