Back to School
We gratefully accept cash contributions, and we will shop for you.
You can help Friends of Karen’s critically ill children, and their siblings start the new school year with backpacks filled with all the essential supplies they need. You relieve parents financially when they are consumed with caring for an ill child and give them peace of mind knowing their children will be ready to start the new school year.
This is what we need
New Sturdy Backpacks, school supplies and Gift Cards of $25, $50, $100 to Target, Walmart, Amazon, Staples
The Back-to-School Program kicks off in June each year.

Your support makes all the difference.
We plan to give every child – ill children and their siblings – a backpack filled with the supplies essential for a successful school year. We need gift cards to Target, Amazon, Walmart and Staples to purchase special things some children need, in addition to all the items on the wish list enclosed. If you’d prefer not to shop, we gratefully accept cash contributions. We’ll happily do the shopping for you! Remember that good feeling of heading back to school carrying your crisp notebooks and sharpened pencils? You can give Friends of Karen’s children that same wonderful feeling of anticipation and hope with your kindness and generosity.This is what we need
