@cnn: 74-year-old Katherine Benally is one of 13,000 Navajo Nation families in New Mexico living off the electrical grid. Now, a non-profit initiative called Light Up Navajo is building dozens of miles of power lines to homes like hers, so she can finally enjoy the cool kiss of air conditioning. #cnn #news
The struggle is real deep into the reservation. We all learn to survive the situation. 🙏🙌✊🏽

I have a 3-year-old and an 8-year-old (who is on crutches right now), my husband and I, who live with no electricity too. Papers do just sit there at NTUA and they don't bother it until idk how long.

Glad they are getting the help they need from the awesome non profit! The government needed to provide electricity a long time ago to them.
