What would you do with $25,000?

As an artist, this is our only income if I win that amount of money, I would pay off all my debts and be a full-time rancher on the reservation and continue to teach . And to help my Navajo elders that don’t have running water I think that’s a big issue out there. I grew up that way no electricity no running water at my time of age. I like to live on the reservation to the endless of days.
