O'odham Rights -- Fresh Food Deliver to Tohono O'odham Elders

Delivery of food to Elders and young families is an honor. An Elder said we had no potatoes to cook yesterday and she smiles at the red potatoes and onions. We sat under a very shady small tree while she told me about her life story since our last visit.
Fresh peaches, apples, and grapefruits are a welcome luxury to most people on a fixed income. She said by the time you pay the water and electric and other bills we buy our staples and hopefully they'll last until next month.
My brother and I have been delivering food for years. We know our people welcome the food and there are people who use everything and do not waste. I highly protect our Elders and do not reveal where they live and who they are.
All our efforts are funded by my personal gas funds. Any donations are appreciated.
