Throwing some love into your feed! As Mr. Rogers' mama said, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." A highlight of my 2020 was when a ton of you friends and followers came together to donate money directly to me for grocery shopping for our Navajo neighbors as pure, on-the-ground and urgent covid-19 relief. My teacher Alisha made bi-weekly trips to Gallup NM and Navajo Nation (~12 hours roundtrip!) this past Spring & Summer to distribute groceries to elders and families in need, partially fueled by YOUR monetary contributions via my IG Story posts. You are all angels! Together we raised close to $4000 that went directly to my grocery shopping, often with help from a friend (see them in the slides!), and then onto Navajo neighborhood doorsteps. YOU helped so many indigenous peoples through the many 57-hour complete lockdowns (no grocery stores, no gas stations, etc...) and your mobilization for these efforts will forever be treasured. BIG shout out to frequent funders ( x4, x3, x3, and maaaany of you who donated twice!), our top dollar donors (.therapy, , , and some $100 donors too!), and anyone who gave even $1 because that $1 scores staples in bulk. You live in Ohio, New York, DC, New Mexico, Hawaii, England, and Austria, to name a few spots! Wish IG let me tag you all. Much, much, much love for all your generosity and trust.
