Please Donate to Toys for Tribes

Every year my family and I do a toy drive for Toys for Tribes, which is for kids and teens back on the Cheyenne River Sioux(Lakota) reservation though Running Strong for American Indian Youth.

Each year, children at the Cheyenne River Youth Project® write letters to Santa about what they want for Christmas. Running Strong and the Cheyenne River Youth Project® try to get each child at least one gift from their list. For many Cheyenne River children, the Toys for Tribes toy drive is their only chance to get a gift for Christmas.
Please help us this year.

This is where my family is from, this directly benefits my cousins. If you have any extra money, please donate. If you don’t a signal boost would be incredibly appreciated.

You can donate directly through Running Strong, or you can go through my family and me. We’ve committed to 200 wish lists and we need your help in making sure that we’re able to fill these wishes- which include things ranging from toys to diapers to underwear to formula to warm winter jackets.

The unemployment back home tends to hover between 80-85% but can get as high as 90% during the winter (source). Even if you can only spare a few dollars, it’ll go a long way in helping. My sister is fundraising toys through her high school and I’m going to be focusing mainly on daily necessities once we fill all the items on the wish lists.

We’re driving to the Running Strong headquarters near DC on December 2nd, so if I could have all donations in by Wednesday November 30th, that would be amazing!

Thank you so much for your donation and/or signal boost. <3

 

I’m going to try to do this. My mom told me that when she was little she was one of those little Children of the World, or some charity like that, kids. She said she always hated them because they gave her a broken doll.
