Your summer may have just started, but at Friends of Karen, we're getting ready for Back to School!
 
Remember that good feeling of heading back to school wearing a new outfit and carrying your crisp, clean notebooks and sharpened pencils? Friends of Karen families are struggling to stay afloat financially and emotionally while caring for their critically-ill child. And parents tell us how difficult it is to go into a store and see healthy children so excited about the new school year while their own child is in the hospital, uncertain about what the next day will bring. Often parents have to agonize between buying new school supplies for their "well" child or paying the mounting medical bills for their ill child. No one should have to face that decision.
 
Your generous gift will help provide parents peace of mind and their children will be prepared for school, feel well taken care of and secure.
Our goal is to provide 700 children the supplies they need to go back to school this fall. We cannot reach our goal without YOU!
 
This is what we need:
 
Please mail or drop off school supplies/gift cards by August 12th to:
