Lakota women on the Pine Ridge Reservation in dire need of help
The Lakota women on the Pine Ridge Reservation are in dire need of help. Some of our sisters homes are dilapidated and condemned. There is no running water, no electricity. We as Lakota Women can't ALONE help ourselves in this area.
Please help us with some tents and bedding. And basic needs
Such as:
Baby infant: Formula any kind/ Pampers/clothing/toys/bottles/hygene products
Food: Dried and canned
Hygiene products: Shampoos/Body washes/Soap
Bedding: Blankets/Air Matteres/Pillows/Sheets
Clothing: All sizes any age male or female
Survival: Flash Lights/Batteries
Wopila Tanka Echiciyapi!!
It's sad when our women have to beg for these things. Simple neccesities in life. Things you take for granted every day.

While we help others around the world, OUR OWN in America are suffering, freezing to death every year, have no electricity or running water, no heat in -50 degree cold, please help by sending what you can. We all have extra clothes and know people with baby clothes they no longer need. We can use those post office boxes that mail for a single fee regardless of the weight. Don't take stuff to Goodwill, mail them to the Lakota in Dakota! Maybe this would be a great community offering or a scout badge project.
