Lakota Bridges

A family was able to leave an abusive situation, but now is in need of furniture. The family is requesting a couch, queen size bed (mattress, box spring (if needed), bedframe), and dining room table (4 chairs). If you could donate to help this family with a fresh start they would appreciate it!

A Lakota student in our community was recently hospitalized. To care for her son during the hospitalization, his single mother had to take unpaid time off from work. Because of this unexpected loss of income, she is now struggling to cover her remaining rent for October. We are asking for your support to help bridge this gap. Your contribution will directly cover her remaining rent balance, giving this family the financial stability and peace of mind they need to focus on healing.

A Lakota family lost all of their belongings in a house fire and is working hard to set up their new home. They are currently looking for new or very gently used household essential items, including twin bedding, king bedding, pots and pants, dishes, silverware and utensils (spatula, pizza cutter, etc.). Your support and generosity are deeply appreciated.  You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.

A Lakota family is headed by a single mother of three children who works hard to provide for her family without any additional financial support. Despite maintaining employment and meeting her family's ongoing needs, she is experiencing a temporary financial hardship and is struggling to pay her Duke Energy bill.

Assistance is requested to help cover a portion of her outstanding electric bill and prevent disruption of service. Maintaining electricity is essential for the health, safety, and well-being of the family. This support would help ensure the family can remain stable in their home while the mother continues working and providing for her children.

Any assistance toward the family's Duke Energy bill would help alleviate an immediate financial burden and prevent the loss of a critical household utility. You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.

We’re hoping to bring a little extra support to the youngest members of our Lakota community by creating a snack pantry for children who may need a little extra help with daily snacks.

For some children, having access to a nutritious snack during the school day can make a big difference. We want to make sure that every child has the opportunity to have something to eat when they are hungry.

We would love donations of healthy, kid-friendly, easy-to-eat, shelf-stable snacks that teachers and staff can make available to students who need them.

Thank you so much!  You can also make a monetary donation by clicking the link below. Thank you for your kindness.
