Hi {NAME}! As we get ready to close out [our holiday campaign]( and another big year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the role that youâve played in giving clean water in 2023. Part of my job at charity: water includes the incredible privilege of getting to travel around the world to visit our local partners and the communities they serve. Over and over again, I get to see firsthand the impact of your donations. And itâs never not emotional for me. Especially as I get older. Iâm a father to two little boys. Thatâs an important detail here. A 4-year-old and an 8-month-old. So very much in the throes of diapers and bottles and wipes (and loving it). But also sleeping in four-hour increments and never wearing an unstained shirt (IYKYK). That experience has brought so much new perspective for me. And I have to tell you how grateful it makes me feel that you choose to support our work. Earlier this year, I was in a community in southern Malawiâ that doesnât have access to clean water todayâ and met a family with twin three-month-olds. My son was almost the exact same age at the time, and I couldnât stop thinking about that as I listened to them describe their life. Dependent on a river bed miles away. Rationing water every day. Limited in opportunities to bathe or wash clothes. Toward the end of our time together, I asked the grandmother of that family how she imagines things will be different for her grandchildren once they have access to clean water, and her answer rocked me. She said, âAt this moment, the suggestion is hard. These children pee and poop. That requires constant washing. But we donât have enough water to do that. We try to clean those dirty clothes but we canât throw away that water. We avoid even using soap because we know the water will get dirty. Weâre just putting the same dirty water on the baby. Itâs by the grace of God that these children are able to be living each and every day.â Being a parent is hard no matter where you live. But it is exponentially harder when you donât have access to clean water. Which makes your support exponentially valuable. I hope you truly realize how significant it is that you, in a year of economic uncertainty, with so many other competing problems in this world, have chosen clean water. For parents, newborns, and grandmothers around the world. And if you havenât given yet, itâs not too late! You can give right now at [charitywater.org/donate](. As always, 100% of your gift will fund clean water and stronger futures for families around the world. Wishing you a love-filled holiday season.
