About Friends of KarenFriends of Karen began in 1978 when family friends came to the aid of a couple and their 16-year-old daughter, Karen, who was terminally ill. A fund-raising campaign for medical and other costs enabled Karen to spend her precious last days at home surrounded by loving family and friends. More than 32 years later, Friends of Karen has expanded to a tri-state children's charity that serves children from birth to 21 who are diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Last year, 1,344 children benefitted from services of Friends of Karen. Friends of Karen provides direct financial assistance with medical and illness-related expenses such as transportation for medical treatment, childcare for siblings while parents are with their hospitalized child, household expenses and rent or mortgage payments, bereavement support, as well as living expenses for parents in out-of-state hospitals, telephone, television services and parking. |
