Every minute at least one child dies of a water-related disease. As a father I can’t image not being able to give my daughter safe water to drink. I am excited to raise $50,000 for Water.org in the next 30 days to be able to provide safe water to 2,000 people.

I came to America at the age 14 with my parents and 3 siblings. Arriving without resources or much money, I know firsthand how difficult it must be for other families in that same condition. For years, my family and I struggled to find housing and jobs. I worked very hard so that I could provide for my parents and family so that they would never have to suffer again.

I am fortunate today to be able to pay it forward by supporting several deserving charities, and one in particular that I recently became aware of, Water.org. I look forward to raising millions in my lifetime to provide families with safe water.

Please join me in supporting Water.org so together we can give kids and their families access to safe water. For every dollar you donate I will match all donations up to $50k.
