Love has no color
Rekindle Me is proud to support the Love Has No Color initiative.
Founded in 2005, Love Has No Color (LHNC) brings love, hope, and joy to children living in poverty and instability on the Fort Peck Reservation in Poplar, Montana. This organization is dedicated to helping Indigenous children thrive, not just by providing aid, but by empowering communities to help themselves. Through activities that build self-esteem, cultivate hope, and expand the children’s vision of life beyond the reservation, LHNC works to transform lives from the inside out.
The challenges faced by these children are severe. The suicide rate on the Fort Peck Reservation is among the highest in the country, and many kids grow up amidst conditions that mirror third-world poverty. While it may be shocking to some, these circumstances exist right here in North America: crime, substance abuse, domestic violence, undernourishment, and unemployment are widespread. Disease rates, teen pregnancy, and high school dropout rates further compound the difficulties these children face.
Some key statistics highlight the urgency:
Suicide rate: 10× the national average
Diabetes: 4× the national average
High school dropout rate: 40%
Unemployment: 75%
Early exposure to crime, drugs, and alcohol
Twice a year, Rekindle Me joins LHNC and a team of health and wellness practitioners from across North America to provide hands-on support. During the summer “Boot Camp” and the December “Christmas in Fort Peck” programs, volunteers bring holistic care, health services, and support to help transform hopelessness into hopefulness.
Over 14 years of service, Love Has No Color has:
Raised over $285,000
Filled more than 6,200 backpacks with school supplies
Donated over 250,000 gifts to children on the reservation
At its heart, LHNC is driven by a universal principle: do the right thing, especially for those who are oppressed or overlooked. The work inspires a deep sense of honor and invites everyone to ask, “How can I get involved?”
Through programs like LHNC’s Boot Camp and Christmas initiatives, Rekindle Me is honored to contribute to changing the narrative from despair to hope, one child at a time.
