Opportunities for Kindness
Overnight Trip Assistance
An advocate has reached out for a student attending an overnight school field trip in the Fall. The student has needs for additional supports to be fully successful on this trip including an additional caregiver. We are trying to assist the mother with the cost of accommodations, as she will travel with the student and they will stay in a room together due to the level of support required in the evening, overnight, and early morning. If you would like to make a donation to help us reach our goal, click on our link, https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate the contribution to "Field Trip."

Lunch Balances
We are so grateful to our Kindness Council members who have helped to combat lunch debt in the past. Their donation directly supported our graduating seniors last year who must pay all of their school fees in order to receive their final transcripts. We were able to ensure all 161 of our seniors in need were covered and we would like to do the same this year. Our goal is to clear out all debt for those families with graduating students on the free and reduced lunch program or experiencing financial hardship. This will allow ALL of our seniors to graduate debt free and we currently have 250+ students with this need. If you would like to make a donation to help us reach our goal, click on our link, https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate the contribution to "Lunch Fees".
*** Update, we have currently been able to clear 49 graduating Seniors in need. Thank you for your kindness!! We still have some remaining balances and would love to clear those too.

A Lakota parent is seeking support to help their rising 5th grader participate in football this fall. The student is passionate about the sport and has dreamed of playing on a team for the past two years but has been unable to afford the registration fees.
The family works hard but doesn’t have extra income for extracurricular costs. The football registration fee is $260, with $60 refundable upon completion of volunteer hours. In addition, the student is in need of cleats and other basic football gear.
If you are able, please consider making a donation to help make this opportunity possible for a young student eager to be part of a team.
