I Need Some Help!

Last July my husband had the privilege to visit The Lakota Native Americans in South Dakota.  He has felt a stirring in his soul to help this group of people who are living right here in America in some of the most extreme impoverished conditions imaginable.

As a family, we have began to talk about what we can do as a family to show the love of Jesus to them. Of course, there are numerous ideas floating around and there are numerous needs.  As a mother, of course my heart is drawn to the children.  Children who are left to fend for themselves because their parents are addicted to alcohol.  Children who are used to living with 15-20 people in a Government Provided home that has one bathroom and 4 bedrooms.

A sign hanging in a Recreation Center that is open daily for children to attend.

I have heard the stories.  I have seen the pictures.  And now I want to see.  I want to feel. I want to experience what is truly going on in South Dakota. 

That is where my plead for help comes in.  I have never had to raise money for a trip before.  I have never had to ask for donations before.  But I guess there is a first time for everything!  In order for me to be able to experience The Lakota people in South Dakota I am going to have to come up with $1,200.  In a some what short period of time.  We are scheduled to leave July 21st, 2012. 

Can you help?  I also have the backing of an organization so that your donation can be tax deductible, if you are interested.

Thank you in advance!

Blessings!
