We have now collectively funded load number FIVE! I want to thank all of you that have been donating not only to firewood but to other funds as well, writing or calling your representatives, gathering supplies, traveling to stand with those on the front lines, praying for the water and the rights of our indigenous brothers and sisters to be honored, reporters who are reporting and sharing stories, organizing rallies, attending rallies, and doing your part. We all have a role to play to protect our mother (earth). I offer my thanks for those at camp standing as long as it takes, those sacrificing so much to be there, those that first stood and offered their prayers....if it weren't for them first standing and calling out for us to stand, the pipeline would now be under the river. Thank you!
I also want to thank my wood guy, Mike. He mistakenly underbid these loads but has honored the bid. Not everyone is as stellar as he. He has been wonderful to work with and a great asset to getting wood to camp. I hope to thank him in person one day as I have only spoken to him over the phone.
I want to thank my mother for standing for me yesterday in Ogden, Utah. I was unable to attend due to the passing of my friend. She stood not only for me but for her grandchildren as well. I'm thankful she raised such caring children.
I want to thank Amy Wicks for organizing the Ogden, Utah rally yesterday. And for donating 1/3 of money raised to this firewood fund.
Here is link to an article written about the rally:
