Mission of Love work at Pine Ridge Reservation
Mission of Love began our work on the Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation in 1996. I would sent trailers of AID and food for our First Native Americans every six months. In 1998, I decided to take a few friends and visit Wounded Knee, S.D.
While visiting the memorial site of Wounded Knee, I met Gary and Kathy. We immediately knew that we had something to do together to help the Lakota Families so I asked what we, as the Mission of LOVE building team could do to help the Wounded Knee community. Gary requested that we help to build a community building in Wounded Knee, S.D.
A promise was made and within a few months our Mission of LOVE building volunteer team arrived with building material, tools, paint, hope and love. The Lakota community came together to pray and work with us daily. Our Mission of Love Family was now part of the Lakota Families.
There are no words to describe what I felt when I witnessed first hand the suffering of what these Lakota families had to go through on a daily basis just to survive. How could this be in America? Pine Ridge Native American Indian Reservation was and is worse than any third world that I had visited. After hearing and seeing first hand the plight of our indigenous, I felt committed to do whatever I could to keep the Lakota traditions, language, and culture alive.
Our volunteer work of compassion and love has continued over the years. Lakota homes, schools, hospices, greenhouses, educational offices, Chamber of Commerce buildings, and much more have been built by our all volunteer Mission of LOVE.
Our grass roots Mission of LOVE has built over thirty homes for the Lakota nation with NO grants or government funding. Let's together continue our Lakota Mission of LOVE for the families in need, ONE Lakota family at a time.
Read some of our previous newsletters that describe many of our building trips to Pine Ridge, S.D.
"with building of Lakota Sacred Homes, you have Lakota Families, with Lakota Families you have Lakota Community, with Lakota Community you have Lakota Language, Lakota Culture and traditions, and Lakota Spirituality. "
