goal
All of my birthdays have always been about stuff. Stuff I don't want, stuff I definitely don't need. And to be honest, I hardly even remember what I got last year.
So this year, I'm giving my birthday up.
I'm turning 39 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $10 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.
As you know, we are the in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. While I can't be sure that these funds will go directly to that country, I know it will go to save kids who don't have much of a chance without clean water.
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.
Please join me.
please note: 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.
...and one to grow on.
Those of you that gave me money for the cause, this is your donation!
Happy Birthday Kristin! I don't believe you are 39, so I am giving $29 because 29 was really the last birthday we celebrated! (and you don't look a day over 29!) xoxo David
$18 for the TCU Baseball Shirt from Sam, $15 for the Webkins from Eleanor, $20 for the cake, and a $25 iTunes Gift Card (well? I'm just guessing - but you didn't make me work very hard this year!). We love you! Happy Birthday!
