Help Verna's Family Rebuild Their Lives
Donation protected
Hello. I am funding raising for a young Native-American family in Rapid City, South Dakota, who are very near to our heart & soul and who have unexpectantly lost their mother, April 11th, 2024. Verna Cross was 43 years old, a poet, a Lakota women’s spiritual leader and life long Sundancer.
She raised her children moral, traditional and responsible, no drugs or alcohol. Verna leaves behind, Dewey, Tasunke and Katana, ages 22, 19 & 16. Also in the family is Aurora, a special needs, adorable & loving little girl of 5 years old for whom Verna assumed custody.
The kids were hit hard with unexpectantly losing their mom and two weeks later, they received an eviction notice and have to be out of their home by May 30th, 2024.
They are looking for an apartment and of course that includes 1st months, last months and a damage deposit.
Verna’s car is not running and will be repossessed. Tasunke has a borrowed car and a couple of days ago, gained employment working in construction and Dewey is securely employed.
Katana is attempting to finish high school while giving exceptional care to Aurora, who requires full time care. This family is on the brink of shattering and in need of finances.
Can we provide enough find them an apartment & sustenance as they struggle to rewrite their young lives?
Thank you for your time. Carol Estes-Nowlin
