Hello my name is Katherine Fischer. I am creating this go fund me for my mom, Aurora Iyatunguk, and my ahna, Edith swan, who has been my mom's escort. Aurora was admitted here in Kotzebue then a day later medivaced to Anchorage, Alaska on 04/11/2023. When Aurora and Edith arrived to Anchorage the Doctors spoke about Aurora receiving a liver transplant. Today, 04/29/2023, my mom was medivaced to Seattle, Washington in the hopes of receiving that transplant. My ahna was not able to follow her to Seattle today but hopes to go on Monday. The hospital said there would be no where to stay. We do not know how long my mom will be down there. Any donations would help for Aurora and Edith's medical journey, weather it be housing, flights, food, or medical. Thank you so much for all your help.
