Hello beautiful souls! Schona Christie here, I am reaching out to you for support as I embark on a meaningful journey to the Sundance ceremony in South Dakota. As a graduate student, the demands of my studies and financial constraints make it challenging to cover the travel costs.

Sundance is not just a ceremony; it is a sacred gathering where we come together to pray for the world. Sundance holds immense cultural and spiritual importance for my family and our community. Being called to support my family at the dance is an honor and a responsibility that I am deeply committed to. In order to fulfill this role, I need your help.

The funds raised will cover essential travel expenses, including food, lodging, and gas. Here is a breakdown of the costs:

Food: Ensuring that I am well-nourished and can contribute to communal meals during the ceremony.

[estimated at $60 per day over 12 days for a total of $720]

Lodging: Providing a safe and comfortable place to stay throughout the event. [estimated at $100 per night over 11 nights for a total of $1,100]

Gas: Covering the long drive to and from South Dakota. [estimated at $75 per day of driving for 6 days for a total of $450]

Misc: For the various things that come up while traveling [putting aside $20 per day for 12 days for a total of $240]

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. By supporting me, you are also supporting the entire community, as the Sundance brings us together to honor our traditions, strengthen our bonds, and promote healing and unity. Your contribution is an answered prayer and is part of the prayers for the world.

I am grateful for any assistance you can provide, whether it is through a donation or by sharing this campaign with your network. Together, we can ensure that I am able to attend the Sundance and support my family and community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

With warm gratitude,

Schona Christie
