Hi

I'm passing on this very urgent message to everyone I can think of that may be able to help a little.

I support a few of the Hopi Elders and I just got word that due to the extreme weather and road closed, people are running out of food, fire wood, diapers...supplies of all sorts and some Hopi have already died. The Hopi I deal with are traditionals and have no electricity or indoor plumbing. The public outhouse is two blocks from their house.

A good personal friend of mine runs a non-profit and is making trips out to the reservation. They need funds to purchase food and fire wood. Any help is GREATLY appreciated as it really is a matter of life or death right now. There's a link below to the local newspaper article from a few days ago asking for donations.

Thanks everyone. Let's count our blessings and give back - helping our own right here at home. Please pass this along to your friends, family and mailing lists.

Love & Light ~ Lisa

There are Hopi people suffering and dying due to the extreme winter weather.
There is a danger of freezing to death – especially the children and Elderly - as many traditional Hopi do not have electricity and/or indoor plumbing.
They are in need of fire wood, coal, water and other foods.
My friend Adam Yellowbird DeArmon is helping coordinate the purchase & delivery supplies to the reservation.
Funds are need to purchase all of these urgently needed items and pay for gas for the trucks to deliver them.


ALL MONEY GOES TO THE PURCHASE OF SUPPLIES NEEDED TO GIVE TO THE HOPI PEOPLE AND FOR THE GAS TO DRIVE THE SUPPLIES TO THE RESERVATION. There aren’t huge administrative fees and salaries of workers to pay like with huge organizations like the Red Cross and others.
Please go to http://www.ica8.org
to make a TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATION today.

Dear Friends,
I have been receiving many letters lately about the emergency situation at Hopi. People are literally freezing to death. I have included some contact info for people that are trying to help if you are interested.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loads of wood, coal, bottled water, along with food bank donations and MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) were furnished by the state and county emergency organizations. Gravel was also made available to help fill in deep sinkholes in housing areas, and rolls of heavy duty plastic were purchased by the HERT to cover roof leaks. Wood bracing was also provided for ceilings.
The Hopi HERT Command Center phone number is (928) 734-7201.

Arizonans can dial call center with questions, damage reports, charitable gifts
PHOENIX, Ariz. - Impassable roads and snowdrifts up to 8 feet in some places has created a need for resources and hay among those living in remote areas on Hopi and Navajo Nation lands.
The Hopi Tribe and Navajo Nation have identified a combined need for 4,750 bales of "cow hay" (grass) to feed livestock. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has sufficient hay, but needs help moving 600 bales from separate locations in and around the town of Whiteriver.
People able to donate hay, transport or both should contact the State Emergency Call Center at (877) 464-1144. Donors are asked to supply transportation of hay contributions if at all possible. Road conditions in some areas may require a four-wheel drive vehicle for safe delivery.

Subject: Urgent message....Hopi Need Firewood and other help...due to weather
In a series of freak storms, Up to four feet of snow has slammed the Hopi Reservation in Arizona, leading to President Obama declaring a national disaster, but the most urgent need of the Hopi, FIREWOOD is not covered under the FEMA disaster relief that is starting to trickle in.
It amazes me that we can galvanize thousands of people and shiploads of relief to Haiti within 24 hours of an earthquake, but right here in America, our Hopi are freezing to death for lack of something as simple as FIREWOOD.

Less than a days drive from San Diego and Los Angeles, and yet freezing to death for lack of firewood. Unbelievable it is allowed to happen.

The emergency relief center on the reservation has received calls from over 900 families desperate for firewood to keep warm.

Hopi consider the Earth sacred, they do not put "floors" in their mesa homes, they are built directly on the dirt, they are not prepared for snow of this magnitude.

Hopi Elders advised the clans to stock up on firewood this winter, because of spiritual signs it would be a bad one, but the weather has been even worse than they predicted, and there is no firewood left on the reservation, every mesa is out.

Elders say this is due to the Earth Changes that are happening.

The latest spiritual statement out of Hopi land after December solstice ceremonies is that for the next couple of years,

Earth changes will intensify worldwide, humanity must come together as brothers and sisters to prepare and support one another through the coming transitions.

Hi All,
Thanks for all of the referrals and donations. I delivered a load of wood this past weekend. I wasn't able to get the $40 wood but got 1/3 cord bundles of really nice pine on pallets ($55), which was perfect for delivery. There is also cedar (piki wood) for $95 a pallet available. I can fit five pallets on my flatbed. People have been sending money to help with costs so the pallets were perfect.
I have scheduled a coal run for this coming Friday the 19th. Anyone with a four wheel drive truck is welcome to help deliver coal. It may be dry enough for two wheel drive vehicles by this weekend. There are three Bean Dances this weekend so no hotel rooms at Cultural Center.
Believe me when I say these people need help. Each home had only a few logs or chunks of coal. The roads are improving. Some, like the off shoot road in Hotevilla had a 30' crack running lengthwise, 3 feet deep with an exposed water line. We successfully straddled that without sliding in!
Again, thank you for your help!!!

Hi Everyone,
George Sanchez and I made a wood run to Hopi over the weekend. Attached are some photos from our journey. I will be going again this weekend, delivering to the elderly and those with small children. Needed items: food, baby clothes and diapers, baby formula, clothing, household goods, small twin propane bottles (camping) for lamps, and money to buy pallets of wood - $55 per pallet for pine, $95 per pallet for cedar. Cedar is needed for ceremonial fire and the piki ovens. Hold them in your prayers at this time.
Roanna Jackson is mourning the lost of her oldest son, Coco. Roanna's water was shut off and APS is threatening to shut off. Anyone who can help her out would be appreciated. There is a lot of suffering on Hopi at this time.
It is so wonderful to brighten their world and let them know that they are not forgotten.
My friend Janice called and said her 60 year old widowed neighbor kept going out on the front porch to look at the wood that we gave to her. She couldn't believe it.
BELIEVE!
M.
