Dear Friends,
As Eve’s Fund for Native American Health Initiatives begins to wind down 2022, we are filled with GRATITUDE and HOPE at Thanksgiving. Just as the Navajo and so many other Indigenous people have been sustained over many, many years, we realize more than ever and appreciate how many individuals and organizations have made it possible for us to sustain the work Eve’s dad and I began in 2005, in memory of our daughter, Eve Erin Crowell, who died that year, shortly after her 30th birthday.
We are thankful to all our friends and family who have found ongoing ways to support us emotionally, spiritually and financially. We appreciate all the Facebook friends who help us spread our mission and sponsor fundraisers on their birthdays. We are grateful for our dedicated program partners, team members and volunteers, and for grants from generous foundations and corporate sponsors. All of these “sustainers” have enabled us to reach more Navajo children through our programs over the last year.
As we look ahead, reflecting on the past year, we feel more hopeful than ever before. Our hero, Christopher Reeve, once said: “Once you choose hope, anything’s possible.” After what have been a tough few years for all, and especially for the population of children and families supported by our programs, we believe that if everyone can spread a bit more kindness, caring, compassion, and good will toward others, the future will be brighter for all.
In the days ahead, we hope you enjoy treasured traditions and special celebrations with friends and family.
With loving thanks and gratitude and hope at Thanksgiving,
Barbara Crowell Roy
President & Co-Founder
