So, today is Day 2 in my 45 day countdown to turning forty.  Day 1 and and explanation of what I am doing and why can be found here.  Today’s donation is $10 to Free the Children and their clean water projects.  This $10 is donated instead of buying lunch out.  I made a sandwich at home instead.  I will not go hungry and that money that would have bought me a sandwich and iced tea can now be used to help bring clean water, one of the most basic necessities to a village and help save lives.  It seems so simple.

I choose Free the Children, not just because they do good work, but because part of their mission is to get youth to do good work for others in need.  I believe in raising activists and children who become adults who give back.  I want my children to have good values and to believe in helping others who have less.

Please consider making a donation today instead of purchasing something you don’t really need.  Also, if you have a charity you would like me to donate to please leave a comment.  I need 43 more charities.  If I donate to your charity, I will do so in your name.
