With disaster comes hope

Our hope came in the form of charitable people who showed up at our doorstep and gave us their time and energy without being called upon.

With over 100 volunteers, the Mescalero Apache Tribe was able to establish two evacuation sites on the reservation.

These sites could not be functional without the assistance of the volunteers.

The Mescalero Apache Tribe wishes to acknowledge and thank the incredible people who gave their time volunteering as a result of the South Fork and Salt Fires.

Your acts of kindness do not go unnoticed.

“The objectives of the Emergency Operations Center are to protect our people, property, and our homelands safely. This would not have been possible without the help of volunteers, tribal employees, and assistance from the community, “lamented Mescalero Apache Tribe Emergency Manager Thomas LaPaz. “We thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts. We will continue to need your support in this long recovery process moving forward. Again, thank you.”

Saying thank you simple isn’t enough for the amount of gratitude we feel towards these special people, but we certainly want to express how greatly and positively affected we are by their service.

We are genuinely grateful for each and every one of you.

‘Ixéhe.
