URGENT! Blankets needed BAD!
Word as come in that blankets are in high need on Pine Ridge Reservation, SD. As a result of the most recent Blizzard, there are still a lot of people without electricity, so heaters are not working, and not everyone has a wood stove or fireplace. Please send blankets (good, clean, warm blankets) to the addresses below:
Rosalie Janis
3M North Manderson
PO Box 85
Manderson, SD 57756
and/or
John DuBray
Pine Ridge Sioux-Lakota Reservation
Allen, SD, 57714
The Red Cross has been involved in this operation, however they have run out of blankets. The National Guard is air lifting elders with severe medical needs to local hospitals. The One Spirit Organization is heavily involved with people on the reservation, seeing to needs and the delivery of wood, where wood can be burned for heat. One Spirit has posted a dire need for blankets on their blog.
If you are in a position to help Native American's, I simply ask you to alert all your e-mail contacts to this need.
May Creator Bless You and All That You Do!
