birthday/charitywater

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 28 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I'm asking for $1 or more from everyone I know. No amount is too small or large. 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. 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.

That's a cool idea. I'll donate what I can.

btw, my bday is nov 26. I think there's a few of us who deal with panic attacks that were born around then. Must be a sagittarius thing.

Good luck with the donations.

I understand that negative self image feeling, but I don't understand why someone such as yourself would have it.

haha, dude. Watching your videos, I was thinking how much you reminded me of myself in many ways. And guess what? We share the same birthday! Awesome. I commented on another video using my other yt account (myartisfashion.) Charitywater.. what an excellent idea. I will be spreading the word and trying to raise money.
