Your Help is needed on Pine Ridge Reservation

I am not sure who knows about the dire needs of the people on the reservation in South and North Dakota. They had a severe snow and ice storm weeks ago. Please if you can assist, please do so and also spread the word.

Below are addresses where you can mail donations to each communitiesemergency relief fund.

Pine Ridge Emergency Relief
PO Box 2070
Pine Ridge, SD 57770

Cheyenne River Sioux/Emergency Relief
PO Box 590
Eagle Butte, SD 57625

Rosebud Relief
11 Legion Avenue
Rosebud, SD 57570

Crow Creek Relief
PO Box 50
Fort Thompson, SD 57339

Hundreds upon thousands practically are freezing to death on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

You may have heard the Dakotas had terrible ice storms this past weekend. The ice has brought down over 2,000-3,000 utility poles down on the Cheyenne River Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Electricity has been out for five days.

Crews are working feverishly, but it may be out for up to 30 days in some areas. With no electricity, no heat, no running water, and a wind chill below zero the situation is growing more difficult.

Please help!!!!!!!!

Walk in harmony,

Melinda

I'm not sure how much, if any, it'll help but I've posted an excerpt from your blog onto mine with a link back.

Our church organized a fundraising effort after hearing of this, Melinda. Please know that lots of people care! Hopefully all efforts will prevent any further tragedies.
