$1 for Alexis's 1st birthday

Our little Alexis is turning 1 on Sept 14.  We are so grateful for her every day and cherish her as the "dawn" that came after the darkness.  She's the brightest of lights.  I mean...look at this face!!!


We wanted to celebrate her 1st year and my 37th with a joint September birthday campaign for access to clean water. This isn't the first time we've raised money for water and it's unlikely the last.  This issue has been near and dear to my heart as it's such a basic need and disproportionately impacts women and children. 

In lieu of any 1st year gifts, we're inviting friends and family to donate $1 to Charity Water (100% of donations go directly to the water project).  Big brother, Louie, has a well in Ethiopia in his honor and we're excited to celebrate Lexi's big birthday milestone in a similar way.  

We'll be MATCHING donations dollar for dollar up to our goal. 

Our 3 goals:
  • $3701 (37 years for me and 1 for Lexi)
  • 75 friends donating
  • 1 pay-it-forward campaign: donating your birthdays to the team

Love,
Yeh-Chiang Gang
