There’s nothing we love more than celebs who give back!
Our good friend Rachel Roy turns 39 this year (yeah, we’ll take whatever she’s having, too) but instead of receiving gifts for her big day, she wants you to give back instead.
RR’s birthday wish this year is to raise money to provide clean water to those in need. With $200 raised so far, we need your help to reach her goal of $20,000.
On why raising money to provide clean water is so important to her, Rachel wrote:
Water changes everything. Diseases from unsafe water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. In Africa alone people spend 40 billion hours every year just walking for water, usually women and young children bear this burden. This year my birthday wish is to give the gift of clean water to those who so badly need it.
So for my 39th birthday on January 15, in lieu of spending any money on a dinner or a party or presents, I am asking friends and family to donate to my charity water campaign and help make my birthday truly meaningful by helping to provide clean water! With your help we can give 1,000 people clean water!
Thank you so much for helping to make my birthday one of the most beautiful I have ever had, by giving the gift of clean water!
Love,
Rachel
