On the weekend of January 23rd another blizzard hit the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota.  6000 electric poles have snapped leaving 17,000 without electricity.  We were informed it could take up to 21 days before electricity is restored.  This means no heat, lights, cooking ability or water.  Shelters have opened but most do not want to leave their home or animals behind due to looting.  Dialysis patients have been evacuated.  Wal Mart trucks have brought in some water but not enough.



At this time we have been asked to help with emergency assistance.  Funding is need to buy hay for horses, dog/cat food, propane, generators and food. 



We have been blessed in the 2009/10 heating season to have received $60,000 in funding from The Sunshine Lady Foundation.  That funding is almost gone.  We need your help as this has been one of the worst winters on record for the Dakotas.  Please continue your generosity and send your checks or donate thru PayPal.  We will be sure that the funding gets where it needs to go. 



Remember, we are all volunteer so your money is wisely used in the places most needed.  Thank you.

The reservations of South Dakota have endured one blizzard after another since mid October.  On the weekend of January 23rd a massive blizzard hit the northern reservations -Cheyenne River Reservation and the Standing Rock Reservation.  Cheyenne River has suffered massive electrical outages.  We have been told by the people that there are 6000 electrical poles snapped and over 17,000 will be without electricity for up to 21 days.  This means no heat, lights, or water.   31 shelters have been opened state wide but only 270 people are filling them.  People are afraid to leave their property because of looting and do not want to leave their animals behind.



At this time we urgently need funds for propane, food, water, dog/cat food and hay for the horses.



Please continue your generosity and help either by check or paypal.  Thank you so much



We also want to thank The Sunshine Lady Foundation for their generosity and donating another $30,000 towards the purchase of propane and utilities.  So far, in the 2009/10 heating season this foundation has donated $60,000.  We are extremely grateful for this help.  This sounds like a large sum but it is almost depleted as of this writing.  Please keep those propane donations coming.  Save lives!
