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.
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. Every child looks forward to the holidays, but when parents are caring for a child with a life-threatening illness, preparing for the holidays is emotionally and financially difficult. We want them to have joyful memories, even in the midst of illness and the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, a double health crisis for Friends of Karen families.
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 holiday 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 sick 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
