@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

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.

From Sheep Springs, NM. Crazy how we all grew up and I have so much respect for my elders who are still okay living on the Rez.

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.
