Hello my name is Deirdre Hoshnic, my family and I have started this organization to provided emergency assistance to the elderly and high risk families of the Dennehotso community and surrounding areas, which is a small community on the Navajo reservation.
We have experienced unspeakable loss throughout this country and the Navajo Nation took a prodigious hit. As you know, the Navajo communities has limited access to the essentials. The Navajo Nation is a food desert with only 13 grocery stores. One-third of residents do not have running water or electricity. Staying at home and social distancing become problematic when residents have to travel and congregate frequently to get access to basic needs. And preventative measures like handwashing become incredibly difficult to practice without running water at home. limited access to the internet for Public health updates and Navajo Nation President announcements. Though we mourn for the loss of our beloved friends, family and neighbors we continue to tend to the urgent needs of the living.
Our main focus is to providing essential needs (food, water, fuel) to members of our communities.
Your donations go to:
Purchasing and delivering food and essential supplies to families in remote areas
Providing water barrels and water to families who have no other way to access water.
Solar panels for families without electricity.
Filling propane tanks to ensure that families can cook their food and heat water to bathe.
Completing emergency maintenance on our delivery vehicles as they suffer the wear and tear of rough roads and long miles.
We also accept the following donations:
*Canned foods/ shelf stable foods, there are many in our communities that have to conserve water and use the liquid in cans to cook. Shelf stables items are best for long term storage, many do not have electricity or refrigeration
*Hygiene products - diapers (babies/ elderly), wipes, feminine products, shampoo, toothpaste, laundry soap, bleach, dish soap, razors, shaving cream, etc
*Over the counter medication/ vitamins
*Pet food is much needed for dogs & cats
*Feed/ Hay for chickens, goats, sheep, cows, and horses.
