Hello! A father is trying to raise emergency travel funds to bring his son home with him, after his mother died suddenly.

Only three donations so far. 😭 Please help an #AlaskaNative #indigenous child reunite with his remaining family! https://mivox.net/@mivox/114462447750735895

Hey all! I’m asking for help for this father trying to raise emergency funds to go get his oldest son, whose mother died suddenly this week, three states away from where Dad is living with their daughter…

Mom is #AlaskaNative from Kaltag, and if you know US history, you know how important it is to keep Native kids with their families. 💔
