Comanche Nation
May 6th was a great day for 4Directions. We were in Lawton, OK at the Comanche Tribal Complex for our annual 5th clothes to rez drive. The doors opened around 9 AM and went till 2 PM. We have no idea how many people showed up. Seniors, families, lots of little ones, single parents and people from several tribes including Comanche, Apache and Kiowa.
We had near twenty tables set up with clothes from toddler, youth, young girls and boys, junior and senior high boys and girls, men and women from sizes s to 2XL, coats, suits, toys, household goods, soap, shampoo, lotion, desk, jewelry, books, hula hoops, shoes and a headboard for a bed.
We want to thank Will Owens, Comanche Tribal Administrator, for all his help and encouragement. He was helped us in so many ways we can never thank him enough.
Tribal Chairman came by and thanked us. It's truly our mission, pleasure and goal to help as many people from as many Tribes as possible. It's also a gift to get to meet so many wonderful people.
So many people benefit from the items we're able to get donated from churches, garage sales, individuals and,purchased at a discount. Presently we do not recieve any financial support from anyone or any organization.
4Directions consist of Kenneth (KP) and Carolene Poole, my lovely wife Judy and myself. We are in the process of applying for a
501 c 3 so we can expand our annual drive.
