Words Can Not Fully Express....

Words can not fully express how I feel about yesterday's events. I am heart broken. My spirit aches. I am shocked, as you all are, at what we've seen and the way our Native People are being treated. This happening to those standing in such strength and dedication to protect our most valuable resource-- WATER!! But some really think our most valuable resource is oil and not being dependent on foreign oil is a priority to them.
Well my priorities are working hard for those standing for our Water. Standing for Life.

Here's the wood update. Load three and four was a big fundraising push in order to fit into the schedule of those delivering and I thank each and every one of you that donated. I'm saddened to report: The man delivering the wood had a loss this week. He lost a friend of his. My heart goes out to him and his friend's family.
So those loads were not delivered this last week for reasons we can all understand.
However, as I type, load three is arriving. Load four, I'm told, will be delivered tomorrow. And we are looking for people to help fund load number five.

If you are traveling to Standing Rock, please bring as much wood and supplies as you are able.
And remember camp rules: No weapons, No alcohol, No drugs.

Load #4 Funded

Load Four has been funded!
Thank you to all that have donated. Load three had been delayed until we could fund load number four. Those delivering the wood wanted to take two truck loads together. But one truck has a crane where the other truck doesn't. So it was so important to fund number four. Now, thanks to our donors, load 3 and 4 will be delivered this coming week. That's 34 cords of wood!
Currently I am working on load 5. Please get the word out.

There have been some concerns from those that don't know me as if this a site that can be trusted. My advice, as there are those not to trust, is do your research.


Here is a link from my local paper, Idaho Mountain Express, talking about the work in my county (Blaine County, Idaho):

LOAD #3 and UPDATE on load #2 Plus a Second Option

Load #2 was delayed but should be arriving in camp Monday or Wednesday at the latest.

LOAD #3 has been funded and I am currently organizing delivery with our second wood contact working out of a different forest than our first.

Thank you for standing with me in supporting our Water Protectors in North Dakota. You all AMAZE me. When I first started this blog, I knew we could get one load sent in.  But here we are now starting on load #4. THANK YOU! 

I have recently been talking to a woman from Colorado and a Man from Seattle (I will add their names once permission has been given). Both having been in camp and seeing the need for winter storage. I have agreed to organize donations for this project. So now there is a second option for your donation. If you wish your donation to go towards a shipping container---add that as a note to your donation. If there is no note, I will assume your donation is for firewood. 

There is a PayPal donation Button in the Upper Right Hand Corner of the Blog.
For those of you not wanting to donate online, you can mail me your donation to:

Near and Far We Stand Collectively!!!! 

WOOD UPDATE!!!

THANK YOU to all of you that have donated to this cause.

We have raised enough money for our first load of wood. In fact it is on the freeway heading to camp as I type! I'm still working our second load....

I'll post the pictures of the wood once they are sent to me!

If you or anyone you know wants to assist with fire wood, please direct them here.

NOTE: We have had over 1,000 blog views. Now if everyone would have donated one hour of wages we would be sending in so many more loads by now. Just one hour.....that's something to ponder.

Again, THANK YOU!
