"My name is John - I'm 63 yrs. old I'm really thankful u can help me out I live in Wamblee I live by myself No furnace just wood stove. So I really thank you and the people who brought it (the wood) to me. Thank you".

Recently, we traveled 60 miles to a remote area of the reservation to deliver wood to John and his 96-year-old mother who lives nearby. We discovered that John's stovepipes had holes and presented a real fire hazard. Our wood delivery team made an additional 120-mile trip, bought some stovepipe and fixed John's stove.

This is just one of the many problems we find when we visit people on a reservation larger than the state of Connecticut. Recently we have started delivering food to two grandparents who live in a small trailer and care for their 9 grandchildren and an elder who cares for his handicapped son. He often has no food because he gives what he has to others he feels needs it more than he.

In order to continue reaching out to these people, we must drive around almost all of the reservation. But the vehicles currently being used to deliver food, wood and other supplies are in urgent need of replacement and our truck is currently out of service.


Can you please chip in $20 for the repair and replacement of our vehicles? We are 30% of the way toward raising the money we need to keep our vehicles running. Every donation will count toward ensuring that John, his mother, the grandparents and the nine children, the elder and his son, and thousands of others will continue to be warm and fed.
