Gather our Children Home

$1,725 of $8,000 raised

Gather our Children Home is a designated 501(c)3 on the Pine Ridge Reservation. It is an emergency foster home licensed by the State of South Dakota for group foster care. Their home serves as a safe haven for children in extreme circumstances and is a valuable placement for children, ages newborn to 13, who need immediate assistance. They provide for up to 14 children in their home with the intent to reunite families and provide ongoing support. In May, they relocated to Porcupine, SD. In June of 2019, our organization worked closely with founder, Barbara Dullknife, to provide added safety for the home and along with the band, Dispatch, built a 300′ privacy fence. We have a few more projects in the works. Currently, the home is ready for kids, but before they start, they need to acquire annual liability insurance. It costs approximately $8,000.00 per year or $667 per month. This year, we would like to help launch the foster care and are accepting donations for this initiative on their behalf. Please support this nonprofit organization as they work to establish a safe home for the children of Pine Ridge in the 2020 new year. For ongoing support, please consider a recurring donation. Our organization has a designated fundraising account for Gather Our Children Home.
