Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq shares her personal story about the struggles in finding adequate medical care for her son in Alaska, gives advice on what everyone can do to make changes, gives advice to others in similar situations, and shares what gives her hope when everything seems to be working against her. Better bring some tissues and be prepared to cry and laugh. Natasha Aġnaŋuluuraq mentioned Stand Up Alaska and has since created a Facebook group called Alaska Coalition for Equitable Access to Care. Don't forgt to write emails to Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. Dan Sullivan, and Rep. Don Young.
