Instead of gifts from friends and family this year, I’m asking everyone to donate a dollar or two to bring fresh, clean water to a village that desperately needs it. We tend to take the abundance of clean water for granted, we fill wading pools for our dogs to play in on a hot summer day, but in many small towns around the world they don’t have clean safe water to drink or bathe in.

I’ve just posted this page where you can learn more about the cause and donate a small amount and make a huge difference in someone’s life. Just $20 can provide clean water for one person for an entire year.

Please take a look at the site and help me spread the word about this wonderful organization by sharing the link with your friends and family too. 100% of your donation will directly build freshwater wells and fund basic sanitation projects for people who would not otherwise have safe drinking water.

1.1 billion people on our planet lack access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us. 80% of all disease on the planet is attributable to the lack of water and basic sanitation. I hope you can take a moment to help me spread the word and make a difference.
Happy holidays!
