UPDATES: SEASON GIFTING

[Managing Editor]

GREETINGS,

It is that time of year again when we begin to think of winter cold and those in need.  For many of our Elders and children it is a time without the basic necessities, for others it is a struggle day to day with nothing left for any amenities whatsoever.

The Staff of Native News will be compiling a list of recipient organizations and individuals known and trusted who have participated in years past in assistance to our people.

For instance, is there a heating fuel fund for heating costs?  Current funds in some areas cover far less than the cost of one month in a season already much colder than last.

HEATING FUND

Emergency heating funds....the weather has turned sharply colder and it appears that it will be a much colder winter than the last few we have experienced creating an incredible hardship for many.

HEATING FUND

The regular emergency fund can also be used for fuel when needed. The money
in the fuel account is specifically used for that account.
    When donations are sent and the sender would like the amount or part of
the amount to be specifically applied to either the fuel account or the
regular, please write on note, check or money order which fund it is to go
to, please:-)  All records are kept of these transactions.

Thank you,:-)

The Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program
(note to be confused with the now defunct "adopt a Grandparent" program}
http://www.anelder.org/
exists to create a bridge of hope between Native Americans and other cultures. It allows us to reach out to one another, share our gifts, and mend the broken circle of our relationship with the Land and the Native Americans who hold it in sacred trust.

The Program supports the traditional Elders who live in the cultural and spiritual traditions of The Dine' People. Most live in remote portions of the Dine's (Navajo) reservation. Many live in traditional hogans, and some raise sheep as a means of maintaining themselves. The Program provides food, simple medicines, clothing, fabric and yarns to help these Elders live on the Land in their traditional lifestyle. As they have become elderly, it has become more difficult for them to support themselves on the Land in their traditional ways...

Please send information to contact other individuals and organizations who are sending much needed supplies and funds where needed.  Let us know if you have worked with them before successfully.
Many of our people face a bleak season far from home behind bars in the federal prison system..please send names, reading interests and contact information for a book drive.  Notice..in most cases "books" must come directly from the publishing companies.
thank you,
Staff Native News
