Southwest Indian Children's Fund (SWICF) was established in 1986 to provide assistance to needy Native Americans in the southwest.  Distributing food, clothing, water containers and other necessities of life, SWICF has helped countless thousands of Native Americans.

The Director of SWICF is Don Aime, better known as "Blessed Cloud," who was adopted in a special ceremony by Suzette Black Plume, a Blood Reserve Indian.  In this special ceremony she told how she had a night vision (dream) and saw Blessed Cloud surrounded by many horses, deer, antelopes, teepees, baskets of corn, and many other animals engulfed in a beautiful white cloud.

Blessed Cloud says: "I've done humanitarian work for over 45 years; almost 25 of those years have been spent working with Native Americans on the Reservations.  The poverty I've seen firsthand here in America is comparable to the conditions in third world countries.  My heart goes out to these precious people who are America's forgotten children."

Southwest Indian Children's Fund is a program of the Don Stewart Association, a 501c3 non-profit organization.
