Navajo Solar Lights Update

When we gather for a weekend installation of solar lights on the Navajo Nation, we are not working in a vacuum. A great deal of preparation goes into every installation, not the least of which is the determination of the elders to receive lights and to communicate with the Chapter leaders and the recipients.

We have been fortunate to have Joan Joe, a Navajo, living on the reservation work as our coordinator. Without Joan Joe's guidance, we would have had only a fraction of the insights, community acceptance, and success that we have had in helping her people. Joan is an administrator for one the reservation's regions.

She was recently released from the hospital after treatment for Coronavirus. We are happy that she is on the road to recovery, but unfortunately, she is experiencing difficulty with the isolation of living on the reservation along with strict stay-at-home restrictions, and the inability to travel to get basic staples.

She has to stay home, quarantined, give her children to others for a time and cannot even drive to her job or anywhere. She is too weak for that.

We ask that you please consider a gift to Joan so that when she is able to shop for groceries and necessities on her own she will have a little bit of money in her bank account.

Please consider contributing to her GoFundMe account that is being administered by our partners at the Durango Daybreak Club: https://www.gofundme.com/f/qg9u7-please-help-us-keep-the-lights-on?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=m_pd+share-sheet.

Please Help Us Keep The Lights On

Thank you,
