rosiedoesToday, I sent $200 and a whole bunch of candy to an elderly lady living on Pine Ridge Reservation and trying to single-handedly raise two teenagers and a six year old.
Without wishing to make this sound arrogant, what did you do, today? And what more could you have done?
Even if it means clubbing together with a couple of friends, why not 'adopt an Elder'? Send them a food package, or clothes, or if you have it to spare, some money. These people really and truly have nothing; if you can skip a few lattes or pass up on a few packets of cigarettes, and put the cash into a collection, contact my friend Brenda.
Brenda is flying out to Pine Ridge this spring, for the first time in a while. She's going to check on old friends and in part, to gather more information on the circumstances there. When she returns, she's hoping to do some talks about the situation there - if you know anywhere who would like to host a small charity event like that, let her know.
