First, our team would like to express our immeasurable gratitude for the outpouring of support that you each have provided. We're incredibly thankful for the donations and kind words.
It was a difficult couple weeks -- and many families are still reeling -- but your donations have made the recovery a little bit easier for countless families.
Since the campaign has exceeded our expectations, we've been able to pass along your donations to the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's Emergency Preparedness Program (EPP). They have been able to bring in additional contracted support to clear roads and have performed helicopter deliveries and evacuations for stranded families.
We're continuing to work closely with EPP on their ongoing response and are also beginning to look at ways to help mitigate the risk of future weather-related disasters.
