Eva |
Mountain Village, AK
Eva loves receiving texts from her daughters when she travels. She considers Mountain Village her home, but over the past six months, she has had to travel to Anchorage with her son for medical care. Although her son had been healthy, after his sixth birthday last June, he cut his knee playing outside. The cut turned into a knee infection, where he has now gone through eight surgeries.
Over a month ago, Eva was let go at her job at the local gas station due to her medical travel with her son. With her husband working only seasonally as a firefighter in the summer, Denali KidCare, a program funded by Medicaid, has provided the financial stability for Eva to care for her son while he undergoes treatments for his leg.
