I have seen the Thread about Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations (now closed) and how people want to help but don't know how. I have heard that red tape and the old run-around boggles minds and stops the help needed and frustrates those feeling the call to serve and help those in need
I would like to know "from a Native on reservation" how we can help? are wood stoves needed? what do the children need? do you need homes fixed? Do the kids need a building where they can study (do homework) get a snack, a place kids can go and be safe. I don't know what is needed but I know if there is a will God will lead the way. I live in Arizona but have family in SD, I want to help where the help is needed the most and I feel these Reservations are on the top. If people from all 4 directions come together bringing what is needed the most to these reservations we can make a difference. I don't want to go through anyone, I want to go to the ones that are in need one on one. If anyone out there knows someone on these reservations that I can talk to please let me know or give them my email address
