"Dear Lisa,
God bless you for helping our Lakota children by sending your package containing a book for the library
and books and toiletries for the reservations. I want to thank you for thinking of us.
We have so much to be thankful for this holiday season, and you top our list! We couldn't be such a strong
family without your support.
Unfortunately, too many of our children don't have much to be thankful for before they arrive at St. Joseph's.
Living in poverty and being overrun by alcoholism, drugs, domestic abuse and more makes seeing the light- especially for a
child - very difficult.
You, however change the bleak picture by supporting St. Joseph's! You give of yourself in order to show
these deserving youngsters there is a better life. with your help, our Lakota boys and girls are able to dream...able to be
thankful for the life God has given them.
As the children and I keep you in our prayers, we also ask you to remember our good work in yours. You are
a member of our tiyospaye- extended family- and we are all so blessed!"
--God Bless and Best Wishes,
Fr. Steven Huffstetter, SCJ Director
