We can’t look away.

Today on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana, 600 people are waiting for homes. Children are going to sleep every night in houses that you or I would consider unlivable – without running water or heat. 14 family members live together in a one bedroom home because housing is scarce and they can’t afford to move.

On the Fort Peck Reservation:

  • Three out of four Native American children live in poverty.
  • The unemployment rate is 58%.
  • In a single year, five school children committed suicide – and 20 more made the attempt.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Make It Right is working with Native American tribes to design and build homes that will provide shelter, dignity and a better life for these families.

We need your help to build these homes.
Can you give $25, $50 or even $250 to help the families of Fort Peck today?

As you gather with your loved ones for Thanksgiving this week, please help to build a brighter future for children and families in need right now.
