NHI's response to covid-19: LOVING SERVICE SUPPORT

 

**UPDATE: We are no longer providing financial assistance at this time**


In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Native Health Initiative (NHI), a partnership to address health inequities through Loving Service, wanted to serve our community with the same love that funds and grounds all of our work. This was a chance to NHIers who can meet each other's needs, as well as a chance for NHI to offer monetary support and connect families to services. Using the currency of love, those making requests will earn the support by offering their loving service back to the NHI community.

This response provided resources and monetary funding primarily to the urban Indigenous communities of Albuquerque.

THANK YOU to all of our DONORS and CONTRIBUTORS!! 

With all monetary donations we were able to provide unique LOVE approach including: 

  • Financial assistance with to pay for rental property or home mortgage.
  • Help pay or find  funding for childcare services, to support the employees that have to work during this time.
  • Financial assistance or established resources for electric, gas, or water bills.
  • Offer wellness and physical movement support by virtual connection, through  NHI’s Running Medicine – Creating Community through Virtual Movement.
