Support a Family in Their Time of Loss


A local family is grieving the heartbreaking loss of a beloved mother, who passed away unexpectedly at only 35 years old — shortly after welcoming a new baby. She leaves behind her partner and four young children.
As the family navigates this unimaginable time, we are asking for community support to help ease their immediate needs. Gift cards to the following places would be especially helpful:

  • Kroger
  • Pizza Hut
  • Wendy’s
  • McDonald’s
Additionally, donations of size 1 diapers and baby formula (Enfamil – green can, or Similac 360 Total Care) would be greatly appreciated.
Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference as this family begins to rebuild and heal. Thank you for your compassion and support during this difficult time.  Any monetary help is greatly appreciated! https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Family Loss

Books


We have a 5th grade Lakota student who loves to read and would be thrilled to have some books of his own at home! He’s currently with a temporary guardian, and we’d love to help him keep growing and thriving through the magic of stories.
He’s a huge fan of fantasy and mythology — he’s already finished Harry Potter and the first five Percy Jackson books, and he also really enjoys One Piece.
If you have gently used or new books in similar genres, let’s help fill his world with imagination and adventure! Any monetary help is greatly appreciated! https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Books

Lakota family needs assistance with transportation.


A hardworking mom of two Lakota students needs our help. She has been doing everything she can to support her family — working full-time, managing busy schedules, and doing it all on her own. Unfortunately, her vehicle recently broke down. The mechanic told her that the repairs would cost more than the car is worth, leaving her without a safe way to get to work or transport her children.
Everyday tasks that many of us take for granted — getting to school, picking up groceries, going to doctor appointments — have become a major struggle. Having a reliable car would make a world of difference for this family.
They have found a dependable used vehicle that has already passed an inspection from a trusted repair shop. The cost is $5,500, and any support would help them take this important step toward stability, consistency, and peace of mind. They are partnering with other programs and our support will help accomplish the goal.
This mom is determined to keep moving forward — a little help with transportation can help keep her family on track.  Any monetary help is greatly appreciated! https://givebutter.com/nbLakota and designate Transportation Help
