Review for ONE Spirit, Rapid City, SD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a donor, sponsor, and volunteer with ONE Spirit for many years. In June of this year I had the honor and privilege of visiting the Pine Ridge Reservation in SD. During my time there, I helped deliver food to folks that had been provided by kind and caring donors and sponsors. I saw first hand how important the food is to families, children and elders. The Lakota are wonderful people who do not deserve to live in third world conditions...right here in the middle of the "land of plenty." Please go to the ONE Spirit web site www.nativeprogress.org to see all the programs and opportunities for donors, sponsors, and volunteers. Become a member of the ONE Spirit family. Give a part of yourself, go without something in order to help. You won't regret it. It will do your heart good.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I met a young man I sponsored for five years. I am very proud of him. The hug he gave me was the most genuine show of appreciation I have ever received from anyone. I saw the tears in the eyes of grandmothers I have grown to know and love. I don't have the ability to help everyone but if everyone would step up and help just a few, we could change the world. We are truly ONE Spirit.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

We need more donors who can provide funds for vehicles to deliver food, funds for building essential storage facilities for food, funds for building youth centers to provide young people a place to study. No changes are needed to the basic structure of the organization...just more of the good kind hearted giving people like we have.

Role:  Donor & I spent 10 days living among people who I now call special friends and family..
