**** PINE RIDGE RESERVATION **** *** PROPANE FUND DRIVE *** ** NOVEMBER 2019 - APRIL 2020 ** by AIMSOCAL.ORG & BICONA.COM Life On The Reservation The average life on the majority of reservations leaves a lot to be desired. With an 85% unemployment rate, an average annual income of $2,500 - $3,000 (per household), a high infant mortality rate and the highest suicide rate in the nation, the Pine Ridge Indian reservation is ranked #1 of the poorest and most depressed areas in North America. Therefore, the Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Indian reservation, South Dakota, is where we are presently focusing our attention. In a community such as Pine Ridge, hope can be the difference between life and death. Outside support can give the people something to hope for. So, BICONA has sprung into action, in an effort to bring hope and save lives. Many on the Pine Ridge Reservation do not have adequate housing, heating, running water, or electricity. The Fund Drive is to bring Propane to those in need during the coldest months of the year. November - April. The dream is to bring attention and support to the third-world conditions that plague many reservations and to save lives at the same time. DONATIONS Can be made at WWW.BICONA.COM Thank you for your Support!!!
