What it says it does

KATIE'S HANDPRINT IS AN ALASKAN ORGANIZATION WHO IS HELPING ALASKAN FAMILIES. WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE FIGHT AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER IS A CHALLENGE THAT THE WHOLE FAMILY GOES THROUGH TOGETHER, AND WE WANT TO SUPPORT FAMILIES CURRENTLY IN THAT CHAPTER OF THEIR LIVES. SEEKING MEDICAL TREATMENT IN ALASKA ADDS ADDITIONAL CHALLENGES: TRAVELING FOR TREATMENTS, OR EVEN RELOCATING WHOLE FAMILIES INTO ANCHORAGE OR BEYOND. KATIE'S HANDPRINT SEEKS TO EASE THE BURDEN OF THESE ADDITIONAL FINANCES SO YOU CAN FOCUS MORE ON WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT - YOUR FAMILY.
