Wingapo My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
This is another SOS! The heat is so bad on the Pine Ridge. It seems that
Lacreek Electric would not do shut offs. I am wrong. There are grandmothers
with grandchildren in there houses that have not had electric for a long
time.
Can you imagine having it over a 100 degrees on the plains and have no
electric? My heart is sad over the conditions our People have to live in.
Spirit Rising Pine Ridge have been getting as many donations for ACs as
possible. We have some families who are in desperate conditions with this
heat.
I am going to describe each family and ask for help:
Lacreek Electric...(Lacreek Electric.
1. Melva W. B. has 6 young children and has no electric. Her husband just
passed today and so they are grieving in a hot house with no electric. This
is
so sad. her husband was only 44. Her Account at Lacreek is:
nppd-284210-nppd-284210-<Wnpp
2. Rebecca JE in house #1388 in Manderson, SD (Pine Ridge Res.) is about to
get her electric shut off Monday 8/20/2007. She is 82 years old. Just give
the house number or call or write me for any questions. The bill is $279.73.
3. Olown M. is in Porcupine, SD on the Pine Ridge Reservation has no sewer
or water. SR Pine Ridge would like to help with getting this repaired. Any
donations for supplies.
4. Janese S. lives in a trailer in Manderson, Sd. Pine Ridge Res. She has
her elder mother, 3 small children and herself. She was working but she got
lied off. She has no electric and water because she is out on the prairie
North
of Manderson. So she has a well but with no electric.... means no well
water.
Her account# is 822401010.
5. Audrey J E lives in Manderson Housing..House # 424 and has 7 children
living there and has had no electric for a month. Again you can use the
house
number to help with this bill.
Any questions just call me at (804) 769-1854 or e-mail me?
I do have some praises:
Through some wonderful women we are able to help 23 Va. Natives go back to
school with clothes and supplies. We have had some wonderful churches help
too. We are still in the process of this undertaking.
Melvin and Pam have done some wonderful work, repairs on houses on the Pine
Ridge and are helping SR getting ready for a benefit in Hampton,Va. on Sept.
8, 2007. I will send out more information in a few days.
Through a wonderful sponsor we had an elderly couple in Red Shirt get two
beds and a AC for her husband who is ill, food, and some clothes for their
grandchildren. Melvin picked up the beds and set them up for them and also
picked up and set up the AC.
Through wonderful people we have been able to pass out 4-5 ACs with SR
setting them up in the houses.
I do need to make a plea for some help with keeping our office going. I need
some help with the phone bill by 8/20 and some donations for electric for
our food bank and freezers, refrigerators, office.
We also need any help with school supplies for Pine Ridge. We have had some
wonderful people help but Pine Ridge is a large Res. and can use all the
help
they can get. Melvin and Pam will pass it out. They have been wonderful in
their efforts to help their People. We all can make a difference..their
efforts
make a difference.
