Thousands of children die from water-related illnesses every day. Please help me make a difference.

It's almost time for my birthday again. I'm not usually excited about getting older, but I've had a very rough year and I'm just happy to still be here. This is my 4th birthday campaign for Charity: Water and I'm hoping that my friends and family can once again help me make sure children across the world can see their next birthday, too.

I'm asking for my age in dollars from everyone I know. That's $20! I know I'm asking for a lot of money, but every donation I receive here instead of a birthday gift helps a child in another country receive clean water and another chance at life. Please feel free to donate whatever you have to spare, even if that's less than a dollar. Every penny of the money raised will directly fund clean water projects in developing countries. Even better, charity: water will show us exactly which projects we funded once they've been fully completed (which takes about 18 months). That means we'll know the locations and names of the communities we helped.

Help me reach my goal. Please donate to my birthday campaign!
