Kathy Ottersten mutual Aid Project
hONORING OUR fRIEND
This mutual aid project was created in memory of our beloved friend and activist, Kathryn Maria Kevin Ottersten - or Kathy, as most of us knew them. Kathy always showed up for queer and trans folx in need, offering care, protection, and action.
What began as a legal aid fund in their honor has grown into a broader network of care - one rooted in community support, resource sharing, and solidarity.
Whether you're seeking support or offering help, this form helps us connect needs with resources. Some requests may be financial (like groceries, rent, or gender-affirming gear), and others may be for hands-on or emotional support (like rides, meal prep, errands, or someone to check in).
You don’t need to explain everything here - we’ll follow up with care and respect.
This project is based in Fairbanks and currently prioritizes our local queer and trans community.
💌 This is community care in action. Thank you for being part of it.
