Update on wood:
With the threat of a $1000 fine for delivering supplies to camp, my wood contact was unwilling to deliver the wood to camp. (I understand his concerns and have nothing but love for this man and his family)
Having raised the money for load 5 and 6, I was concerned I would not be able to get these loads in.
I was discouraged. But it is important to not let that stop your efforts but rather to get creative and brainstorm solutions.
I called my neighbor, Amy Wicks, and she got to work. She was able to organize an alternate plan. I then called my wood contact and he was agreeable to this new plan. I did a happy dance.
So yesterday morning, 34 cords of wood were delivered to the Cheyenne Tribe in South Dakota. From there, they will buck, load and deliver the wood to our Water Protectors.
The news that came thru yesterday was such a thrill to hear! Finally some good news. A much deserving win.
However, I know this is not the end of this battle. I am still going to work on raising money for loads of firewood and organizing the delivery of those loads (with a little help from my friends).
Please if you are able, donate now to load #7. For those of you just tuning in, each load of firewood is 17 cords of wood. One cord equals 4feet high by 4feet wide by 8feet in length.
