North Salem, NY, November 10, 2022 — Help Friends of Karen deliver gifts and smiles for the holidays! Nearly 900 Holiday Wish Lists need to be filled this year. Join us in helping fulfill a child’s wish list or fill the lists for several children. You will be the reason our children smile this holiday season.

Every child looks forward to the holidays, but when parents are struggling to care for a child battling cancer or another life-threatening illness, there’s no time for shopping or even thinking about gifts. You can make sure Friends of Karen children get to celebrate the holidays by taking part in our Holiday Adopt-A-Family Program. Each child sends us a wish list, and we match them with a kind-hearted person who purchases one or more of the gifts on the list.

You can help our children celebrate the holidays by purchasing one gift for one child or several gifts for several children. And if you don’t have a lot of time, we welcome cash donations and we’ll do the shopping for you.

To participate, and get matched with a child’s wish list or lists, please email DeniseTredwell@friendsofkaren.org or call (914) 617-4052.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than by putting a smile on the face of a seriously ill child and helping to create memories for their entire family? If you would like to make a donation online visit https://bit.ly/fok-adopt-a-family
