Children's Safe House Power Inverter

We live on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. Although we currently live in Wounded Knee Village, our dream is to build an eco-sustainable children's safe house and family home on our land in the Wakpamni District.

We currently have nine children in our home; five are ours by birth and four by circumstance. Additionally, we work with Lakota Oyate Wakanyeja Owicakiyape (LOWO) as an emergency placement home for children and have been doing volunteer work for Tiyospaye Crisis Center for two years.

We are confident that building our own home will provide us with the clean and calm environment that all of our children, and the children we care for, deserve.
