SWIF assists Navajo and Zuni families in need
SWIF quietly helps Native American families facing major illness, fire, or bills. Director Joseph Esparza notes one-time grants of up to 200 dollars with few exceptions for severe cases. Last year SWIF rebuilt homes, supplied heaters, food baskets, stockings, and clothing across Navajo, Zuni, Hopi, White River Apache, and Laguna reservations. The group emphasizes self-help and restricts aid to essential relief, often after thorough financial checks. Page 2 continues.
