My Life has been Blessed
I have been anticipating the Solution’s trip to Pine Ridge since the first time I heard about it. I knew that going into a new environment could potentially be out of my comfort zone but could be a whole new experience for me. In the past, I had gone to the Cherokee reservation in North […]
