In the stories handed down through generations, the old people tell us that life is a cycle of giving and receiving, a balance that must be maintained. The land, the sky, the rivers—they all teach us that nothing is ever truly ours to keep. We are merely caretakers, custodians of the gifts we’ve been given, and with that role comes the responsibility to give back.

When you give, you become part of a much larger story—a story that began long before us and will continue long after we’re gone. This is not just about charity; it’s about understanding that we’re all connected, that the health of one is the health of all. In traditions all over, the act of giving is a sacred one, rooted in the belief that to give is to receive, and to receive is to give back. 

Whether you choose to support a specific project, donate to a specific cause, volunteer your time, or share the stories, know that your gift is more than just a donation to us and the people we work with – it means so much more.
