Opportunities for Kindness
Lunch Balances
A family currently has $476 in lunch charges and is in need of support. They have a student who has recently been hospitalized who also has siblings attending Lakota schools. These charges have accumulated over previous school years during a time when the family was experiencing financial hardship.
The family has since qualified for free lunch benefits, but these prior balances have continued to follow them. Clearing this debt would provide the family with meaningful relief and allow them to move forward with a fresh start, especially as they navigate ongoing medical and financial challenges. Any assistance would make a significant difference for the family, thanks for your consideration. https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Lunch Fees
Recently Filled Needs
Refrigerator
A Lakota family just had their refrigerator die. It is unfixable, and they are trying to save the food. They have food in both the refrigerator and freezer. A gently used working refrigerator would be wonderful. Any assistance would make a significant difference for the family, thanks for your consideration. https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Refrigerator

Family in need of pull-ups
Family is currently in need of size 7/8 pull-ups for their child. They have to have supplies at school for the classroom and at home, so they go through them very quickly. This is an ongoing need for the family and any help is appreciated for this family! https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Diapers
Support for Student that has been Hospitalized
A Lakota student has been hospitalized since before Thanksgiving and will soon be discharged, transitioning back to home and school life. This extended hospitalization has placed a significant strain on the family, and they could greatly benefit from additional support during this time.
Gift cards for restaurants and gas would be especially helpful, as frequent trips to and from Children’s Downtown have created an ongoing need for fuel. The family’s favorite restaurant is Buffalo Wild Wings (BW3), and DoorDash gift cards would also be appreciated.
The student also has a birthday coming up in February and enjoys Minecraft, Pokémon, NeeDoh, fidgets, and hoodies (size 10/12). Any assistance or support would be greatly appreciated. https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Student
Pull-Ups needed
A single mom is going through a recent death in her family and is in need of size Small/Medium nighttime pull-ups for her child. This has been a difficult and overwhelming season, and assistance with this basic need would be a meaningful support during a time of grief. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Diapers
Family in need of pull-ups, diapers and wipes
A young mom is in need of size 5 diapers and size 4T/5T pull-ups. She goes through these quickly because she is required to send a supply with her child to daycare. This added expense has made it difficult for her to keep up. Any support would be greatly appreciated and would help reduce stress for this family. https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Diapers
