Below is a letter that I got from a friend of mine from Pine Ridge. All of the names that were enclosed have been edited to keep my friends anonymity. Life is hell for them....she writes me almost everyday to keep me up to speed. We try to help but we are alone in this movement and money is low for us to help them. ************

Hey there~,
It's a cold day in hell here!!I'm hoping I don't run out of propane soon,the tank is on empty and we are on fumes!!I never made it to Rapid City!or Wal Mart for Christmas....no gas!!.......besides my daughter Worm is being stubborn and unforgiving!!I kicked her out cause she didn't listen to me, she's in a very unhealthy friendship with a this cousin of hers! and she's on her way to self destruction!she's drunk all the time,going to bars and getting pushed around by my niece!!I'm going to let her have it when I see her!!stupid little shit thinks I don't know about him taking advantage of my daughter !! I don't give a goddamn if she's needy,!!I confronted my daughter about her cousin and she told me to stay out of her life!!
Ohhhh! I'm so pissed off that I just want to kick her ass when I see her!
I was so pissed when he tried to hang himself in front of my daughter, he says nobody likes him or cares about her anyway!! I almost fell for that bullshit but now I know different!! Well enough of that!! I'm tired of thinking about this........it makes me sick that my daughter may someday take her own life because nobody likes or cares about her!!!
So how was your Christmas?? did you cook?? I volunteered my time to cook, but before I got there the 'special' volunteers took all the good presents, you know who I mean, and all her people I didn't go for the gifts, just the dinner Monday night...because the vice-president decided not to pass out the presents that same evening..What an ass hole!! nothing ever goes right here! besides half the presents were stolen!!
Again!! You know they would rip off their own mother just to get what they want in life ,like the evil sisters I told you about!! Somebody told our community chair that they received a donation of $600,but they were at the Lakota Nation Indian tournaments, and was spending money that was given to the kids here!! Geez!! everyone goes nuts over money even if its intended for the children...Well I hope you had a better holiday than I did!! I hope everyone gets what's coming to them!! Later...signing off from this place I know as hell........M!!
