Kathy McLinn is a beloved middle school teacher in Dillingham, Alaska. Her son has been diagnosed with traumatic brain injury as a result of his participation in college wrestling and amatuer boxing. His mother is on leave from teaching in Dillingham and is currently residing in Anchorage in order to be there to support her son through this long and difficult recovery.

Friends of Kathy McLinn are raising money to help her pay for housing, transportation, food and other exepenses accrued while away from her home.
