Boo, the world’s cutest dog with a followship of 10,935,324 Likes on Facebook, turned 8 years old today.
Naturally, Boo’s owners are using his worldwide popularity to solicit donations for CharityWater.org:
“I am dedicating my 8th birthday to help charity: water build clean water projects around the world, and I am asking for your help once again! Help me raise $10,000 (or more!) in the weeks leading up to my birthday.
Many of us have no idea what it’s like to be thirsty. We have plenty of water to drink — even the water in our toilets is clean!
But many people around the world don’t have that luxury. Every day, 5,000 kids die from water-related illnesses before they reach their fifth birthday. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are simple solutions like drilled wells, spring protections and BioSand Filters that help provide clean water to communities around the world.
It would be the BEST birthday gift if you could donate $8 for my 8th birthday (or any amount you are able to give).
100% of the money will be used to build clean water projects, and when they’re complete, charity: water will send us photos and GPS coordinates so we can see the exact community we helped.”
That’s a great cause. For more information, visit Boo’s Water Campaign website.
