Navajo Covid-19 Relief Fund
Native and indigenous peoples of the Americas have a long and tragic history of being hit disproportionately hard by pandemics that sweep through their lands. Life is Sacred (a native founded and directed 501(c)3) has served over 10,000 of the most vulnerable people in Native and Indigenous communities throughout the United States during the pandemic.
It costs $50 for a basket of food and supplies that will support a family for 2 weeks. Please consider joining us in these efforts by donating today.
Our partners in this work include the Knights of Columbus, Southwest Indian Foundation, the Kapuna Needs Project and others. Our current service areas include the Navajo Nation, Acoma Publeo, Zuni Pueblo, Laguna Pueblo, Hopi Pueblo, and the island of Oahu. We will soon be expanding to South Dakota and Alaska native communities.
Native and indigenous peoples of the Americas have a long and tragic history of being hit disproportionately hard by pandemics that sweep through their lands. The 1918 Flu pandemic wiped out whole villages, and ten percent of all deaths from H1N1 were among Native peoples (nearly 4 times that of any other racial/ethnic groups).
Covid-19 is looming as a health threat greater than any seen in over 100 years. Native peoples are faced with a lack of clean water and infrastructure, poor transportation options, overburdened healthcare facilities, and a population that suffers from high rates of diabetes and other health risk factors. In this this bleak landscape we will #standtogether by delivering needed supplies to the vulnerable and make sure that we #LeaveNoNeighborBehind.
