Reservations With Needs

Reservations With Needs
The following organizations and reservations have contacted me this week. If it is possible, please donate the following items. Send items "parcel post" as this is the cheapest way. The packages will reach their destination in appx. 5-7 days.

Giving is a two way street. If any of our members are in an emergency situation or live on a reservation that is facing critical conditions, please email me immediately. Your name will be kept confidential with me as packages can be sent "resident of" with your address.

*****TWO RESERVATIONS ARE FACING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. THESE RESERVATIONS ARE IN NEED OF CLEAN WATER. THEIR PIPES ARE ANCIENT AND CRACKED, WHICH MAY BE CAUSING ASBESTOS PARTICLES TO FLOW INTO POTABLE WATER. THEIR DRINKING WATER IS BROWN WITH RUST. KEEP IN MIND THE MANY AILMENTS THAT WILL AFFECT OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IF THIS SITUATION IS NOT RECTIFIED IN A HURRY. ***I WILL BE TYPING UP A DONATION LETTER TO BRITA AND OTHER WATER FILTER COMPANIES TO DONATE INDIVIDUAL WATER FILTERS FOR OUR MEMBERS TO DOWNLOAD, SIGN AND MAIL. THIS IS ONLY A BANDAID, BUT IT WILL HELP UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT PAYS FOR NEW PIPING (I HAVE A PLAN ABOUT THIS!)*****

All it takes is a small sacrifice from each of us to help. Give up a manicure one week, let your hair grow an extra week, give up a $5.00 coffee twice a week and that will be enough money to send a gallon of water via parcel post. Think of how good and connected you will feel with others who share our Mother Earth.

Please put yourself another's mocassins. Mentally walk a mile in them. Give with love. They are our brothers and sisters.

*****REMEMBER, NEVER SEND CHECKS OR MONEY. NOT EVER. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE HONEST AND IT COULD WIND UP IN SOMEONE'S POCKET.*****

Lots of love and a ton of blessings to all,
