"Too many children on the reservations of North America struggle to live daily with hunger, malnutrition, lack of proper clothing, care or concern for their welfare. It is hard enough being a child in this environment where the majority of families live beneath the poverty level guidelines in this nation.
Thousands of children live on reservations where infant mortality and teen death by suicide is at the highest national average. This is a frightening reality for thousands of Native American children growing up without hope for any kind of future. It is hard for those of us who do not live on a reservation to imagine what their lives must be like.
For far too many families, there simply is not enough food to go around. Over 80% of families must depend on extremely limited government funds and food commodities to feed their children. The majority of households are lead by single mothers or grandmothers trying to raise more children than they can feed properly.
In the winter and on birthdays and holidays too many children lack needed warm clothing such as winter coats and boots. Most don't receive birthday presents because there simply is no money for such luxuries. What would it be like to live in an environment where having three meals a day is a luxury? Could you imagine that? For far too many one meal a day is a luxury!"
I post this here to my extended SB family because this is important, to me, my good friend and mentor Graywolf who started this, and to these people that have less than us .. if you can help, with clothing, canned food, whatever you have that you think would help, it is all good
