Thread: Crow Creek CAN-DO

Folks-

I have been talking to an organization called "CAN-DO", who is working on a relief project to help give a hand-up to those in the poorest county in our nation.

Here is a video to give you an idea of the scope of the problem:

As one of the "warrior" class, I get fired up about things like this.

Here is the write-up from the 501(c)(3) organization who is working on solutions for this American community in need.

Will you guys work with me to come up with some ideas on finding solutions?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts, ideas, and efforts.

I talked to the organizer about filing to become a "Combined Federal Campaign" choice in the future- there is a bit of paperwork to get that started. But that is one angle I am working.

Some basic facts about the community at Fort Thompson, South Dakota-
92.2% American Indian heritage
Ranks as poorest county in the U.S.
Average household income - about $9,000 per year.
About 1,300 residents.
About 325 homes.
Average age: 22
less than 32% complete a high school diploma.
Unemployment rate: over 80%.

This is in America, folks.

Will you help me find solutions?
