Fundraiser for Nlaka'pamux(Lytton) Youth Programs

As many of you have been made aware. The interior is on fire, while many Nations across the world have been affected by this the Nlaka’pamux Nation is being hit specifically hard. The village of Tl’kemcheen, the place in the heart where the blood mixes at the convergence of the great Thompson and Fraser Rivers almost completely burnt down due to the devastating forest fires on June 30th. Just recently on Saturday August 14th, 2021, members of LFN were made to evacuate once again as well as neighbouring Nlaka’pamux villages Skuppah, Siska, Nicomen and Kanaka were also made to evacuate. All of these villages used the essential services that were located in the village of Tl’kemcheen (Lytton) such as the grocery store, the pharmacy, the hospital, the post office, the medical clinic and more. School is expected to return soon as the two schools Kumsheen ShchEma-meet School and Stein Valley Nlaka’pamux School did not burn down. This go fund me will be allocated for youth programming, workshops and mental health support as the youth have experienced an immense amount of trauma as well as the actual rebuilding of structure so community members can have a home to return to.

Any and all donations, support and prayers are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
