Dear friends and family,
Kyra and I will be spending May 26-May 31 on a service trip working for the nonprofit organization Tipi Raisers, which operates on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Pine Ridge is an area of the United States in perpetual crisis related to the conditions of deep poverty and widespread intergenerational trauma. Unemployment on the Reservation is 80-85 percent and Pine Ridge is considered the poorest county in the United States.
We will be helping tribal members with home repairs, community projects, as well as delivering supplies and food. This is a community in desperate need.
As part of our project we would like to raise money for the Lakota People to spend in areas they need it most. We will also be buying supplies from their request list before we arrive at the reservation, so we welcome Visa or Target gift cards as well.
Please consider supporting this organization, which does such great work in helping alleviate conditions of poverty on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
Anne-Marie and Kyra
