Giving to charity: water for Thanksgiving

Each year we come together at Thanksgiving to devour turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Let’s also remember that this holiday is about being grateful for what we have and considerate of those in need. 

Recently, I was inspired by the incredible story of Scott Harrison, founder of charity: water, a non-profit organization that brings clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries. Every day, 1,400 children die from diseases caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation. Getting them clean water to drink is, surprisingly, not as costly as you might think… and charity: water can help!

One main way that this organization raises funds is by having regular people donate their birthday to the cause. Last month, I did just that, dedicating my day of birth celebration to charity: water and raising over $500 from friends and family, meaning that 17 people will get clean water.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’d like to extend this fundraising event to my company and social media community. I’ll be making another contribution today and humbly invite you to do the same by following this link:

Your donation is tax-deductible and 100% of private money raised goes straight into he field to fund water projects, as charity: water consistently receives the highest grades available for accountability and transparency.

Thanks so much for your support, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
