Friends of Karen's mission is to provide emotional, financial, and advocacy support for children with a life-threatening illness and their families, in order to help keep them functioning and able to cope.

Friends of Karen is the only organization in the New York Tri-State area that provides vital, practical and comprehensive support, at no cost, to families caring for a child with a life-threatening illness.

Since our founding in 1978, we have assisted more than 16,000 children and their siblings.
