On South Dakota’s reservations, too many Lakota (Sioux) children grow up in survival mode — facing poverty, instability and uncertainty. When each day is a struggle, it’s hard to imagine tomorrow, let alone dream about the future.

But, what’s a childhood without dreaming? Dreams are powerful. However, in order to dream the children need courage. They need strength. They need a DreamMaker.

That’s where you come in.

With your monthly gift to St. Joseph’s Indian School, you become part of a circle of kinship that surrounds Lakota children with safety, stability and love. You help provide nourishing meals, warm beds and clothes that fit. Your kindness can help take care of their day-to-day needs so they can dream of a brighter future for themselves.

Then, once their basic needs are met,
that’s when the real dreaming begins.

DreamMakers are a special group of monthly givers who ensure our Native American students are cared for year-round. For as little as 32 cents a day, your gift goes directly to meeting their most urgent needs — all while planting seeds of hope for the future.

Your support offers more than essentials. It opens doors to education, cultural pride and spiritual growth. Children learn Lakota traditions, explore their faith and discover who they’re meant to be.

There’s something in it for you, too. As a member of our monthly program, you will receive:

Our goal is simple: every child graduates prepared to live a life of purpose and possibility. With you by their side, that dream becomes real.

Become a DreamMaker today and help a child believe in tomorrow.
