News about Pine Ridge

We had a very rewarding yet sobering trip to Pine Ridge, SD in September.  As we departed, there were over 500 requests for assistance yet to be filled. 

This year we skirted trailers, constructed outhouses,  built and delivered bunk beds plus bedding to several Lakota families.

We are indebted to the congregation of Trinity for your continued support of Pine Ridge. 

Our Spaghetti Supper served 100 meals and was made possible by those who helped set up, served the meal, cleaned up, and provided a wide variety of desserts to top off the meal.

Special thank you’s go our to the “Celebrating Creative Women’s” Group, Marlene Senn,  and Marlene O’Brien for providing warm blankets and sheet sets for the bunk beds.

The needs on Pine Ridge are many, please consider joining us on our next trip.

Also, continue to check our blog as updates will be posted throughout the year.

Re-Member Assistance 2012

I forgot to mention that Re-Member has assisted 220 families in 2012 to date (most ever).  300 more families still need help and have submitted such request.

91% of Re-Member Funds/Budget goes to help Lakota people.

The Director said, that biggest problem in the U.S. is that people have lost consciousness of the American Natives.
