Virtual Navajo Taco Fundraiser

One of my most memorial events growing up in Page was the fact that whenever someone was in need for medical, funerals, or some important need for funds the community would host a Navajo Taco dinner. Religion, race, and economic status never drew a line. Of course, everyone loves a good Navajo Taco but the majority of the people would go to support whatever cause was in need.

Most of us have grown up and moved away from Page, but through the miracle of Facebook we are all connected in each other’s lives. I have a friend and her 17 year old son was in a horrific accident 3 weeks ago. There is longtime physical and psychological healing in the years ahead.  Fortunately, he survived, but has huge medical bills as a result. If we were in Page, there would definitely be a call for a Navajo Taco fundraiser. I propose a virtual Navajo Taco dinner to bring the “community” together to help her out.

If anyone can participate, her family could use donations to help with the mounting costs as a result of the accident. She was a longtime resident of Page and worked several years at the Lake Powell Chronicle. A bright and cheerful woman she is always kind and compassionate. She has given regularly to those around her and needs to be on the receiving end this time. I am going to donate and then make Navajo Tacos for my family. 

Any donation would help. If every person I have as a facebook friend donated just one dollar, it would be a contribution of $400. Donations can be made at any Wellsfargo bank under the "For the Benefit of Jonah Lyons & Family" fund. Thank you for taking a few minutes and few dollars to help. One person’s donation of $5 won’t be enough by itself, but if we pool our dollars together it will make a big impact.

P.S. Please share this on your facebook as we do not all have the same associations with everyone on our facebook page. I know a lot of people have friends from Page that are not on my page. If you have a  blog or some other social media please share it there too. Also, you don’t have to be from Page to donate. You are welcome to participate in a great tradition from out little town in Arizona.
