Denver Residents Organize Donation Drive for Navajo Nation

A group from north Denver in Colorado organized a donation drive for Navajo tribes in Cuba, New Mexico, and made a trip with two truckloads on May 2.

This video was taken on May 1 by Felicia Atencio, one of those involved in the effort, and shows the vast amount of supplies the group gathered.

“There’s a 12-year-old girl down in Cuba, New Mexico, named JoJo who has been helping the Navajo Nation get food and supplies. My friend Lucas [Garcia] decided he wanted to help. He decided he was going to take donations and drive them down there," Atencio told Storyful.

“Started off with just a truck and a trailer and ended up being two moving trucks, a pick-up truck, a trailer and a small SUV filled with tons of food and supplies. We took them down to JoJo in Cuba, New Mexico, to distribute to the Navajo Nation. There were six of us total that made the trip down there,” she said.
