Our Home Burnt Down
Help Rebuild a Home for the StandingOntheRoad Family- Fundraiser
Former Chief Leonard StandingOntheRoad has dedicated over 12 years of his life serving his people as Chief of Montana First Nation and Grand Chief of Treaty 6 in Alberta, Canada.
A true leader, he has worked tirelessly for his community. Now, he and his family need our help. Recently, tragedy struck when Chief Leonard’s daughter, a single mother of five, lost their home in a devastating fire. With nowhere to live, Chief Leonard and his five grandchildren are facing an unimaginable hardship.
But in the face of adversity, he sees an opportunity—not just to rebuild a home, but to empower the next generation of Indigenous youth with valuable trade skills.
Through the hands-on training program offered by Metrax Indigenous Corp., Chief Leonard envisions a home-building project that will not only shelter his family but also provide an introduction to the trades for five young students from his community. These students will receive hands-on mentorship in housing construction, student success coaching, and a foundation for future careers in the trades—all while contributing to the building of a 1,354 sqft, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home for the StandingOntheRoad family.
Our Goal: $450,000
The funds raised will go directly toward:
– Construction costs for the home
Materials and labor
– Training and mentorship for five Indigenous youth to learn valuable trade skills
– Success coaching to support student development
This is more than just rebuilding a house—it’s about creating a pathway for future Indigenous tradespeople while helping a family in urgent need.
