John D. Barry's Birthday for a Cause

This cause is now closed! Why not start a cause of your own?

Name: John D. Barry

Birthday: October 24th (All day)

Why I'm Doing This:

Right now, there are 13 million hungry and thirsty people in the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia) due to the region's worst drought in 60 years as well as other tragedies, like soaring food prices. I'm raising $2,500 for my 25th to help. You can learn what One Day's Wages and their partners World Concern, Horn Relief, and Concern Worldwide are doing here. 100% of donations, minus credit card fees, will go to relief efforts. This is a cause I believe in and am donating to myself--I am donating my wages on my birthday to this. I'm telling you this because I want to encourage you to make a donation as well. We can all spare one day's wage to help the hungry and thirsty.

My Invitation to You:

If you were going to buy me a cup of coffee for my birthday, donate $5. If you planned to take me to lunch, donate the $10 instead. If you were considering purchasing me a shirt, donate $20. Or, just donate because you can't stand the thought of people going hungry in a world with plenty of food, or children going thirsty in a world with ample water. Together, we can save lives. Please celebrate my 25th on the 24th by helping me raise $2,500.
