Please note that the Lakotas are generally larger people. When making or purchasing clothing, it is best to focus on Large and XL sizes. For babies, it is best to send sizes from 3 months and up.
Your recurring donations allow us to purchase items in quantities at a lower cost, especially diapers. To participate in a monthly donation, please see the recurring donations for babies page.
