Winter & Christmas 2006 - Toys and Clothing Request

Winter will set in soon in many places of the world,
but once again it will not be the same for all the
children. Some are lucky and have everything they
need, other children have much more than they need...
and yet there are also the children who have very
little - or nothing... They don't have the right
clothes, and they have no toys. These children need
warmth, and they need hope, and loving support.

You can be there for these children, and make a
difference in their lives. Even if the Northern
Cheyenne Reservation is far away from you, toys, warm
clothing and shoes can be sent to them directly on the
reservation, where they will be distributed by trusted
Northern Cheyenne contacts who have helped so much the
previous years.

There is a large need especially for new and good
quality used warm items, as well as toys. During
Montana winters, the temperature can drop to 30 or 40
degrees below zero so warm winter clothing and
blankets can be lifesaving. These items will be
distributed right away. The toys will be distributed
during the Christmas give away.

Here is a list of things that can be sent in support
of these children:
- warm clothing such as knitted items for
children of all ages from babies to teenagers,
children's jeans, coats and warm T-shirts
- socks, gloves, boots, hats and scarves
- blankets
- toys for Christmas

Other items that would also be appreciated: grooming
supplies like toothpaste, tooth brushes, soaps and
shampoos, combs, hair brushes, hair barrettes, rubber
bands or other types of hair or pony tail holders.
Last but not least : pampers diapers or pull-ups.

Please make sure that the items sent are safe, and
sensitive to the culture of the children and their
People.
When sending a box, it would be appreciated if you
could send us a short email with your name or
location, type of items sent ('toys', 'clothing',
etc), approximate weight and shipping date, so that we
can help our contacts by keeping a list of what is
sent to them. Our aim is to always make sure that
everything reaches the reservation.

The priority of our group, "Honor your Spirit -
Protect the Children" is to make sure all donations
get to where they are supposed to and recognized. It
is very important to us to make sure that everything
is distributed fairly and to those in the greatest
need.

Our goal is to help the children of families unable to
make ends meet due to the high unemployment rate, the
difficult conditions and the extreme poverty on the
reservation. These children need all the help and
encouragement they can get, so if you can help, please
contact us for more information.

Respectfully,
Honor Your Spirit, Protect The Children

"Your help makes a huge difference for those who have
never received help. Your donations provide hope and
encouragement to those who have never known these
qualities. Your concern and solidarity can improve the
lives of many children, elders, families, on the
Northern Cheyenne Reservation. There is still a lot to
do but all together you can help us make these dreams
come true.

Thank you for being a part of this project and
supporting it."

Respectfully,
Manuel Redwoman,
