Student and Family Impacted by Accident
Due to a recent car accident involving a student and their family, two family members who were previously working are unable to work due to recovery. With multiple follow up appointments, it is making it hard for all family members to attend work. We have worked with the family to help fill their other needs. However, they are afraid that due to missing two incomes they are not going to be able to make their rent this month.
Lakota Family Lost Home due to a Fire
A Lakota family lost their home and belongings to a fire. They have been fortunate to quickly find a new home but need a refrigerator and donations for the cost of a new stove. They also could use gently used everyday household items, like pots and pans, silverware, gently used linens. We are working with family to put together needs on an Amazon list for donation support as well.
Recently Filled Needs
Lakota Family Needs Assistance Paying Fees for the Raptor Background Check to Volunteer in School
A Lakota family would like to volunteer at their children's school but met a barrier when they learned about the fees necessary for them to be cleared with the background check in order to volunteer. The family would greatly appreciate assistance with the fee to allow them to support and be more involved at their child's school.

Family Needs Help with Boys and Girls Club Scholarship
Family recently moved to the area after losing their previous residence to a fire. Student is new to the district and struggling to make friends and connections in his new school. Staff and family think Boys and Girls Club would be a great option to help foster connections in his new community.
Back to School Calculators
We have students in need of specialized calculators for Math classes. We have approximately 10 High School students that need the TI 83, 83+ or 84 and do not qualify for support from other community organizations. We also have approximately 10 Junior High students in need of the TI 30XIIS. The total cost is approximately $1250 to meet these needs as we are trying to buy these in bulk for reduced cost, with batteries included. However, if you have a very gently used working TI calculator of any of these models, we would welcome those as well. We know that we may have more than our initially identified students and these can continue to help meet the need.
