William is the grandson of one of Rural Womyn Zone’s long time members and it appears he is a “chip of the old block” in his choice to help make the world a better place. We have often marveled at the many selfless hours his grandmother has given to help domestic violence victims in her area and it truly warmed my heart to read William’s tribute to his grandmother which can be found here.
While I could go on forever singing praises to this woman’s dedication to domestic violence advocacy it is her latest project that I would like to bring to light. You see, along with her many other activities, she sits on the board of Pretty Bird Woman House, a women’s shelter in Standing Rock, South Dakota. The shelter is in danger of closing due to lack of funding. A fundraising effort is under way and can be found by clicking the links above. Please help if you can.
In closing, I would like to echo William’s words. She is our hero too and so is her grandson of whom I know she is truly proud.
