It's almost overwhelming to see help finally arriving for these lovely people. Now it feels real! They have suffered and struggled far too long. Thank you to all those who have worked so hard to achieve this small step forward. I'm honored to have had a small part in helping this happen. I noticed that Alice Tso's name was missing from the list of those helped. Oh dear.

:thanks!: It's wonderful to see for ourselves how this project is taking off, you don't often get to see how donations are being used. I'm glad that we are making a difference! :goodvibes:

Dear Johnny Depp Zoners, Thank you each and everyone of you and Johnny Depp for all your great work and compassion for water haulers in the Navajo Nation, AZ! We are the Forgotten People working with Project Pueblo to install safe drinking water systems. Please check out all the photos on Facebook. The supplies are coming in and we are getting them prepped to go onsite for Project Pueblo's arrival on 9/9. You are all awesome! Wishing you many Blessings and our appreciation, Forgotten People :applause2: :applause: :yahoo: :dillingerhello: :wave: :captainjack:

I am absolutely speechless. All I can say is that I hope someone from the Zone can get there. I am sure there are Zoners among us that live in Arizona. What an amazing circle we would make then, come round, hand and hand, those that saw the need, those that tried to help, those that worked and produced the results. We are certainly a special community are we not?

Wow . . . as one who's lived long enough to have many years of small donations under her belt, I have to say this is the first and only time I've ever actually seen the donated funds materialize into the real thing. Makes you want to do so much more - very, very moving.

Thank you for the links.

I just love all this follow-up, which is usually non-existent with charities after one donates to them. I'm so thrilled to have been even a tiny part of this, and yes, it certainly does make me want to do so much more, since I can see our contributions actually materialize into the needed results like this.
Thanks so much, Forgotten People, for keeping us updated. :thankyou:

This is exactly just what I was thinking and it really makes you feel part of this phenomenon and my thanks to our organisers in making us part of it all - you are all amazing :worldhug:
