Residents of Clark Fork & surrounding communities are gathering to help "one of our own".  Haden Kistler and his family have a long and expensive fight ahead of them.
 
Haden (age 11 - a resident of Clark Fork and student at Hope Elementary) was recently diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of cancer.  He underwent emergency surgery at Sacred Heart Medical Center to remove two brain tumors and is currently undergoing radiation treatment in Seattle.  The next step is a treatment program in Houston, Texas for life saving therapy and procedures.

With that in mind, several residents from Clark Fork area communities have consolidated efforts to raise $18,000 to help Haden's family with medical and transportation expenses.  Our goal is to  raise  as  much  money  as  possible  to  help this little boy.  His fight can be made possible by the generous support of people like you.  All donations will be for the sole purpose and benefit of Haden Kistler and his family.  An
